3Natives Acai and Juicery has rebranded its name to 3Natives Acai Cafe. The company name change supports the franchise brand’s vast menu options that go beyond their signature acai bowls, smoothies and juices, which also includes delicious cold and hot-pressed wraps, salads, and breakfast sandwiches.

From a small juice bar in Tequesta, Florida to nearly 50 locations across the U.S., 3Natives has carved out a unique space in the fast-casual landscape. On a recent episode of QSR Uncut, 3Natives Founder and CEO Anthony Bambino opened up about the brand’s origin, philosophy, and the passionate drive behind its thoughtful, strategic growth.

From humble beginnings in a small Florida village to over 50 locations across the country, 3Natives is redefining what it means to build a modern, customer-first fast-casual franchise.

3Natives Acai and Juicery, where health-conscious consumers go to enjoy freshly prepared and healthy bowls, smoothies, salads and wraps made with sustainably produced ingredients, is celebrating remarkable 2024 success that positions the franchise brand for even more expansion in 2025. The brand achieved 40 percent store growth, adding 13 locations and breaking into three new markets, while launching new technology and operational efficiencies last year.
