We are developing a small, limited number of "Sweet Nel's" franchises in the Philadelphia area. Although we could open more, it is our philosophy to open fewer cafes and locate them in very high profile, magnet locations in and around Philadelphia. Franchisees are extensively screened, exhaustively trained and provided with an exceptional degree of guidance and support from the Sweet Nel's franchise organization.
Rush Bowls was launched in 2004, when founder, Andrew Pudalov, decided
to leave the hustle and bustle of New York’s financial scene to pursue
his dream of creating a healthy, fast-dining restaurant that fueled
people’s lives with honest ingredients and delicious recipes. As a
result, Rush Bowls was born in Boulder, Colorado, offering meals crafted
from the finest fruit, topped with granola & honey, and blended
with protein, vitamins and other nutritious ingredients that taste
delicious while promoting a healthy lifestyle.
