Restaurant and Food, Retail FranchisesAbout Rush Bowls
Rush Bowls is reinventing nutrition with a delicious new take on your favorite meal, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our bowls burst with flavor and satisfy with fresh, filling, all-natural ingredients. A Rush Bowl is prepared with milk or juice, blended with frozen fruit, then topped with granola, honey, fresh fruit, and other nutritious toppings.
We have built a streamlined business model featuring few moving parts (no cooking, grills, or hoods), small footprints, low labor counts, easy-to-replicate recipes, and no food waste or spoilage.
Rush Bowls Franchisees enjoy the business model because:
- Simple: Few operational moving parts, easy to train staff, no food waste or spoilage.
- Flexible: Footprints between 500-1500 square feet. Kiosk model for situations where candidates already control a suitable site (airports, co-brands, food courts etc.)
- Transparent: Non-exclusive supply chain (Rush Bowls does not sell anything directly to franchisees and makes no money on the supply chain).
- Vendors with national accounts and pricing are established for franchisees.
