## Story

This will be the first location the couple intends on opening in the area, with four additional locations slated to open throughout the greater Minneapolis suburbs in the near future. The new restaurant will feature both indoor and outdoor seating as well as delivery and carryout options. Both John and Libby hope to utilize their previous sales and entrepreneurial experience to turn their new location into a local favorite.

“Rush Bowls, as a brand, has always impressed us with the variety of healthy options they offer on their menu,” said John Hitt. “Our bowls are blended on-site and made to order while catering to the specific needs of our guests. Whether that means gluten-free, organic or lactose-free, we have something for everyone to enjoy.”

Rush Bowls offers its guests a wide selection of customizable bowls and smoothies. An industry pioneer in the genesis of healthy food bowls, the brand’s bowl creations provide guests with the perfect blend of all-natural fruits and veggies topped with delightfully crunchy, organic granola, a drizzle of honey, and a choice of fresh fruits and toppers. Rush Bowls can be blended with protein, vitamins and other nutritious ingredients while remaining low in calories and fat content.

“We are extremely proud of bringing the Rush Bowls concept to our home state for the first time,” said Libby Hitt. “We can’t wait to open our doors and begin establishing lasting connections with our guests here locally.”
