Shaka Bowl Franchise Overview

About Shaka Bowl

Shaka has innovated and developed into a restaurant known for far more than acai bowls and smoothies. Their expanded menu includes an entire coffee bar, house-made baked goods, oatmeal, tacos (breakfast & lunch), and offers seasonal LTO's. Every single key ingredient that goes into their offerings is prepared in-house daily from fresh and natural ingredients while also catering to every dietary need in the era of dietary needs. Their packaging and straws are also 100% sustainable, as the Hawaiian way extends beyond their customers, to planet earth as well.

Franchise History

New Jersey-based Shaka Bowl was founded by two sisters who wanted to bring a piece of their life in Hawaii to the mainland. Inspired by the flavors and culture of the islands, Kiersten and Krista Gormeley opened the first Shaka Bowl, a Hawaiian-inspired fast casual health eatery in Fall 2016 in Hoboken, New Jersey, with a menu centered around acai, pitaya, poke bowls, and smoothies. The population of Hoboken embraced the Hawaiian way that the sisters had brought to them, and the sisters soon expanded their menu and opened a second Hoboken location less than a mile from their first to cater to the rising demand. In early 2021, Shaka Bowl began offering franchises to meet the demand across the country.
