The health food eatery, which specializes in acai bowls, is slated to open in the coming months, although the exact timeline is unclear. It will mark Vitality Bowl’s second Charlotte location; the other is on West Bland Street in South End.

Ray Mullapudi said it was the brand’s approach to food that drew him to the opportunity to open its newest cafe.

“Everything is freshly prepared, made with real superfoods, and never padded with unnecessary fillers,” he said in the release. “In a community like Charlotte, especially with the nearby college campus, there’s a growing demand for food that’s both convenient and genuinely good for you.”
