Offering up healthy dining options, franchisees Mario Parisi and Joe Hidy opened their first Playa Bowls this weekend on Brown Street. They serve healthy, açaí, pitaya, coconut bowls and smoothies with sustainability and community in mind.
“While vacationing with family in Florida, I tried Playa Bowls for the first time a few years ago and was instantly hooked,” Parisi said. “It’s exciting to be able to open our first shop near the University of Dayton so students will have quick and healthy menu options to keep them fueled throughout the day.”
Many people enjoy Acai bowls for their health benefits due to their high levels of antioxidants and phytochemicals. Acai berries help with heart health, by improving cholesterol levels and cognitive function by fighting inflammation and oxidation in brain cells. The shop offers superfruit bowls, chia, oatmeal, smoothies, juices, coffee, and more. Vegan and gluten-free options are available, and there are also keto, and paleo options as well.
Local franchisees plan to open a second location at 734 N. Main Street in the Dorothy Lane Market shopping center in Springboro.
