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.

Request the FDDWhy 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.
Most bowl chains look the same. We don't. Pastel, playful, illustrated — actually memorable.
Simple ops, predictable food cost, fast service times. We've already built the playbooks.
We answer your texts. We visit your store. We're a small team and we treat franchisees like partners, not numbers.
