About Nautical Bowls

We know it’s difficult to find a quick and healthy meal. Healthy eating has been considered unattainable, expensive, or too hard to be sustainable. When faced with an eating decision, on-the-go people often are forced to eat (convenient) food with little to no nutritional value, leaving their bodies feeling sluggish and ultimately, unsatisfied. At Nautical Bowls, we combine healthy and fresh superfood smoothie bowls and a positively uplifting experience, so every guest and team member feels full of life.

Nautical Bowl History

Nautical Bowls was started in May 2018 and took off in popularity and size in the following 2 years. We knew Minnesota would love Açaí bowls but we did not realize Minnesota would love them THIS much. In the first year, we doubled our initial sales projections and have been growing 75% YOY. As more people ditch unhealthy fast eating options, we are very well positioned to be a leader in the healthy fast-casual restaurant space.

The Industry

  • Current U.S. Market Size for Juice & Smoothie Restaurants: $2.4 Billion (1)
  • Current Market Segment Size for Açaí: $900 Million (2)
  • 2020-2025 Expected Growth Rate (Jan. 2020) of the Açaí market segment: 12.71% CAGR (2)

(2) Bizwit Research Global Açaí Berry Market Share and Size Study: January 2019

The TAM for Açaí is growing substantially within the Juice & Smoothie restaurant segments as a result of the Superfood status that Açaí enjoys and the healthy lifestyle it supplements. Nautical Bowls is positioned to benefit from our unique and novel concept in Minnesota while providing a key healthy lifestyle experience that our key consumer age demographic 15-34 demands.

We can see this dynamic taking place across our economy and the revenue growth of Nautical Bowls over the past 2 years affirms that we have a prime opportunity to capture the growth that lies ahead.

Come Join the Movement!

As we grow, we want to include as many people as possible in our Nautical Bowls culture, lifestyle, and movement.

Today, we are offering franchise opportunities to qualified individuals that we believe will assist in growing Nautical Bowls’ presence in the market. Request more information to speak with a Nautical Bowls representative and see if that could be you!
