TL;DR
Playa Bowls is celebrating National Acai Day with a $5 discount on acai bowls. The company was founded by two surfers in Belmar, New Jersey, and has since grown to operate multiple locations.
As the season changes, National Acai Day is observed with acai bowls as part of the weekend events.
“National Acai Day is always one of our favorite days of the year because it takes us back to how Playa started,” said Abby Taylor, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Playa Bowls. “Back in 2014, we were serving acai out of a small pop-up in front of a pizza shop, and now we’ve built this incredible community of acai lovers all over the country. Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or you’re grabbing your first bowl, it’s such a fun moment to celebrate together.”
The acai used in Playa Bowls’ menu is sourced from Brazil, contributing to the flavor of bowls and other items on the menu, which include oatmeal bowls, juices, smoothies, and cold brew made with fresh ingredients.
Guests can sign up for Playa Rewards in-shop, online, or through the Playa Bowls app to redeem the National Acai Day offer and stay up to date on future promotions and monthly menu drops.
Playa Bowls was founded by two surfers who started with a blender and a small cart in Belmar, New Jersey, and later grew to operate locations beyond the initial site.
