Rush Bowls looks south for expansion

BOULDER — Rush Bowls, the Boulder-based fast-casual restaurant chain known for its meals-in-a-bowl concept, is opening stores in three new southern markets in early 2022: Birmingham, Alabama; Naples, Florida; and Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. 

“People in Birmingham, Naples, and New Orleans are wanting a healthy, on-the-go food option,” Rush Bowls CEO Andrew Pudalov said in a prepared statement. “There is nothing like Rush Bowls in these cities, so we are thrilled to introduce these markets to a side of health and wellness that they haven’t seen or tasted before.”

Rush Bowls, through Rush Bowls Franchising LLC, began expanding with franchise locations in 2016.
