Oola Bowls Opens New Location in Portland, Maine

For the last two decades, the fastest growing restaurant segment in America is the fast-casual concept.

Fast food in America prioritizes speed and convenience while fast-casual chains put the emphasis on quality and ingredients.

In the fast-casual sector, one type of restaurant that is exploding across the country is health food. Specifically, acai and pitaya bowls.
