The quickly-growing acai bowl chain, Acai Express, is planning to open a new location in Lake Nona at 14800 Narcoossee Rd, according to a recent plan review with the State of Florida. The store will be run by Healthy Choice Group Inc.
“Açai Express creates an experience for people to “unplug” from the noise and stress of day-to-day life. Using our Premium Organic 100% Grade “A” Açai as the centerpiece, our guests can practice an active and healthful eating lifestyle without giving up flavor… They are always eager to “refresh” & feed their mind, body & soul with our array of delicious Açai Express super food bowls,” the official website states.
“Our Mission is simple – To Serve the best tasting, highest quality super food bowls that go hand in hand with a life style based around health and fun.”
Founded in Puerto Rico by Hector Westerbrand, the restaurant began as Westerbrand’s response to a lack of healthy food in the coastal town where he lived. He successfully began selling smoothies and bowls on the beach, leading to a fully-operational food truck, and ultimately to a quickly-growing franchise with locations in Puerto Rico, Florida, the Carolinas, and New Jersey.
No opening date has been announced.
