Playa Bowls has over 400 locations open and will have 500 open by 2027. 60% of our units are owned by multiple-unit franchisees. Franchisees are expanding because they are meeting or exceeding their financial goals.
Our target start up costs range from $281,960 - $1,055,594, but our target investment is under $500,000. You need $150K in liquid assets and $500K net worth to be qualify.
Playa Bowls has experienced astonishingly high growth and success rates.
Playa Bowls started in 2014 and proved we can sustain economic uncertainties such as the pandemic.
Since COVID, customers pay more attention to the health benefits of their food.
There is no cooking, no fryers, hoods, grease, or operational complexity which typically goes along with food preparation. We have a very simple and streamlined menu which is easy to prepare and customize.
It takes as few as 20-30 employees to run a Playa Bowls, mostly part-time workers. Given the “Cool Factor” of the business and quality of the work environment for part-timers, we don’t have the same struggle to find employees as many fast food chains.
Playa Bowls franchisees do big sales in small locations of approximately 1000-1500 sq ft.
The typical Playa Bowls operation is open 7 days a week from 9AM and closes at 8PM. Hours are subject to change based on location.
No cooking involved. Limited hours of operation. Simple menu. Few employees. All this makes for a business that is easy to manage and easier to scale.
Combining a low, under $500,000 (mid-range) investment with a staggering $1,117,488 average sales makes for an outstanding return on investment for franchisees.
Combining a low investment with a strong ROI and a simple operation makes this business highly scalable, so franchisees expand into multi-units quickly.
Franchisees make money and are well-supported.
With over 400 shops open, Playa Bowls has not yet opened in 50% of the states in the USA. There are many markets available for future development.
Millennials like to eat outside of their homes. They like nutritious foods that are unique. They like customization. Playa Bowls checks their boxes. This product is an affordable luxury with a healthy halo.
The average customer ticket exceeds $16.
Our food and labor costs are competitive within the QSR industry.
Our products are difficult for customers to find elsewhere and expensive and inconvenient for them to recreate.
Our products are believed to improve cell structure, reduce risk for cancer, lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, and reduce effects from aging.
