The innovation of Playa Bowls is to provide a healthier alternative compared to the fast-food chains. It’s to provide a healthy lifestyle.
The origins of Playa Bowls begin in 2014 on the boardwalk in Belmar, New Jersey by Rob Giuliani and Abby Taylor. Both are New Jersey natives and longtime surfers, and were inspired to open up their first pop up shop after traveling and surfing in many locations such as Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and Panama. They noticed that in all of their trips they came across some sort of pitaya or acai bowl, and with that they decided to start making their own right on the boardwalk where they lived.
Presently, Playa Bowls has almost 100 locations in the United States and Puerto Rico. Although their idea of an acai or pitaya bowl is not new, they expanded and began to create camera worthy miniature pieces or art--which is what attracted many customers at first. Their business model revolves around healthy superfoods and creating a sustainable and green company. Their mission is to be a leader in their local communities by promoting healthy options and supporting the eco-friendly movement. The way they build up their stores is through using 50% refurbished and recycled materials, serving their customers in biodegradable ECO bowls, using spoons, lids, and straws all made from corn plastic--all with the intent of minimizing their environmental footprint. Although Playa Bowls has competition, what sets them apart from their competitors is their promise to their customers to always use high quality ingredients without any additives or preservatives, which other companies do not do. Their innovative business model revolves around the motivation to not only push for the health of their communities, but our planet as well.
