Buy a Grain and Berry Franchise

Grain & Berry is a Florida-based healthy fast-casual franchise built around handcrafted superfood dishes: acai bowls, pitaya bowls, smoothies, fresh-squeezed juices, vegetarian flatbreads, and avocado toast. The brand opened its first location in Palm Harbor, FL in 2017 and began franchising the following year, expanding from its Southeastern US base to a growing multi-state network.

The menu is built around whole, plant-based ingredients with no artificial dyes, sweeteners, or preservatives. Grain & Berry imports Grade A Organic Açaí directly from the Amazon Rainforest under Fair Trade standards, and all items are prepared in open view of the guest. The product range accommodates vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, and dairy-free preferences, giving each location broad consumer appeal across health-conscious demographics.

Locations operate within 1,500–2,000 sq. ft. retail spaces, supported by a branded app for in-store, pickup, delivery, and catering orders. The system integrates with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub through the POS, and the brand’s Incentivio AI-powered loyalty program has attracted over 118,000 registered customers.

Grain and Berry – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Grain & Berry delivers 74 hours of classroom training and 86 hours of on-the-job training through three weeks at a corporate restaurant. The programme uses a digital platform with video modules and AI avatars, covering franchisees, management teams, and employees. Ongoing operational and marketing support continues post-opening. Franchisees operate on the Incentivio AI loyalty system and a POS integrated with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. Resale buyers should confirm what initial training and system access the franchisor provides to incoming ownership and any newly hired managers.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The Grain & Berry model fits a community-minded operator comfortable managing a team of 15–25 full-time and part-time employees in a fast-paced food service environment. Prior restaurant or management experience is not required; the brand reports that most of its franchisees had little to no food service background before joining. Candidates should be comfortable with local marketing and customer engagement, as repeat business and loyalty program growth are central to unit performance. An affinity for health-conscious living fits naturally with the brand's customer base and service culture.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Grain & Berry has earned recognition from national and regional publications. Entrepreneur Magazine named it Top New Franchise in 2021 and 2022, and Top Food Franchise in 2021. QSR Magazine placed it on the 40/40 List in 2021, recognising emerging fast-casual concepts. The Orlando Sentinel awarded it Best Chain Restaurant in 2021, and the Tampa Bay Times and Creative Loafing each named it Best Bowl across 2018–2020. For resale buyers, brand recognition is best assessed alongside the specific unit's current reputation, customer reviews, and territory visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US fast casual restaurant market is a substantial and growing segment, with consumer demand for convenient, quality food driving sustained expansion. Health-oriented concepts benefit from consumer shifts toward clean eating, plant-based diets, and dietary transparency, with allergen-friendly menus broadening the addressable customer base. Repeat dining patterns in health-focused fast casual support revenue consistency across a loyal customer base. For resale buyers, territory demographics and local competition in the fast casual category are worth evaluating alongside the unit's performance.
