Oola Bowls Planning 5 Unit Expansion in Tampa Area

The first location of Oola Bowls is coming to Tampa with plans for four more, franchisee Phil Dobinson shared with Business Debut. The brand, originally founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has been expanding across the country, including a recent move into Georgia.

The Tampa grand opening is set for July 19th, and the first 50 guests in line will receive a free bowl. The new shop will open at 14379 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618.

Guests can expect a menu built around what Dobinson described as “the best açaí in the world,” served as bowls, smoothies, and soft-serve açaí—his personal favorite. Other superfood offerings include pitaya, functional matcha drinks, and Grandma’s Granola, made from a recipe by co-founder Brock Snider’s grandmother. Dobinson noted he’s even helped make granola alongside her.

Having been involved with the brand since its early mobile days, Dobinson relocated from Lancaster to lead the company’s Florida expansion. Tampa’s debut location will be the first of five in the region.
