Now franchising · IL · IN · WI · OH

7 stores. Sold-out openings. Now franchising.

Founded in 2021. Profitable from year one. Built by an owner with 11 years in açaí. We're opening territories across the Midwest — and we'd rather have ten great operators than a hundred mediocre ones.

Why Bonita

A different kind of bowl brand.

The category is hot but most concepts feel interchangeable. Bonita stands out because we built it the way we wanted to eat at it.

A brand with personality

Most bowl chains look the same. We don't. Pastel, playful, illustrated — actually memorable.

Built for multi-unit operators

Simple ops, predictable food cost, fast service times. We've already built the playbooks.

Real support

We answer your texts. We visit your store. We're a small team and we treat franchisees like partners, not numbers.
