April 01, 2026 // Franchising.com // BELMAR, N.J. – Playa Bowls is inviting guests to celebrate National Acai Day together on Monday, April 6, with the acai energy building all weekend long. On Monday, Playa Rewards® Loyalty Members can enjoy $5 off any acai bowl at all participating locations nationwide, available all day while supplies last, valid in shop, online and in the Playa Bowls app.
As the seasons shift and guests come together for a holiday weekend, Playa Bowls invites everyone to enjoy acai, the small but mighty berry that turned a surf trip into a nationwide obsession.
“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.”
Playa Bowls sources its acai straight from Brazil, delivering the fresh, authentic flavor that has become the foundation of its menu. Naturally rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, acai is a feel-good way to fuel your day and the berry that started it all for Playa Bowls.
Founded by two surfers, Playa Bowls was born out of the desire to recreate deliciously healthy versions of the acai and pitaya bowls the pair encountered on various surf trips spanning from Costa Rica to Hawaii. The duo discovered new and unique twists on this popular post-surf treat at each beach and came home wanting more. They set up a blender and a small cart across from the boardwalk in Belmar, New Jersey, and Playa Bowls was born. After ten years, thousands of team members, and hundreds of thousands of bowls later, Playa Bowls continues to offer superfruit-packed menu items with a mission to lead communities in healthy, sustainable living.
