## Story

The Long Island City/Astoria Journal reported that SoBol Franchisee Mark Keegan is opening the first location for the brand in Astoria.

Keegan's SoBol , located at 25-04 Ditmars Boulevard, will bring healthy, on-the-go options to locals. The acai-bowl concept opened 20 locations in Long Island in the past four years and Astoria was a perfect fit for the brand's next location in the area.

Keegan told the Long Island City/Astoria Journal that he hopes his SoBol "will help build awareness to the acai bowl" in the Astoria community.
