"Playa Bowls is a quick service restaurant franchise offering acai bowls, pitaya bowls, coconut bowls, chair pudding bowls, oatmeal bowls, smoothies, juices, and other healthy food options.

What is the upfront investment required to own an Playa Bowls franchise?
Playa Bowls has a franchise fee of up to $35,000, with a total initial investment range of $168,675 to $435,058.

Initial Franchise Fee: $35,000
Total Investment: $168,675 to $435,058
Working Capital: $10,000 to $40,000
Royalty Fee: 6.0%

The initial purchase price of any franchise includes several fees."

The $35k is just the license. You then have to purchase location (rent/buy) then outfit, staff, produce and machinery etc etc. You'd be looking at $300k realistically.

A franchise that costs $35,000 and has that kind of ROI... I feel like it's too good to be true.

Minor detail but he Villani in Elmsford not Elmont.

I should buy a franchise restaurant. I'm probably to lazy. I am a union guy thou

Smart investment for Villani. Those Playa Bowls places do really well. Next to no overhead and inventory compared to the average food franchise. They sell Acai bowls for $15-16 and smoothies for ~$10'ish. It's a really simple and effective operation. I've been going to the location they have in Manalapan or Morganville or wherever it is for years now whenever I visit family near Freehold. I wouldn't normally conflate fast growth with success, but I think it's a huge moneymaker and every location they have does well.

Is this the first 'official' statement of Mannino as Consig?

No Capeci revealed he was the consigliere and street boss back in December.

This XI project has been such a disaster. Industry publications been reporting for close to 2 years about investigation of the projects GC/owner HFZ, which is owned by a bunch of israelis, being investigated and sued for stealing a few hundred million from investors. Incredible that project also had these gangsters on it as well. Think Campos company CWC worked on XI
