DFW diners with a hunger for healthy cuisine, get ready for the first taste of your next culinary obsession. Helmed by franchisee Lilian Nguyen, California-based concept Tr\u016b Bowl is getting ready to introduce itself to the Lone Star State with a new Plano Storefront, reports Culture Map Dallas.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which specializes in a\u00e7ai bowls, will be joining the Shops at Granite Point at 5760 SH-121 #145. Nguyen was kind enough to tell What Now Dallas about bringing Tr\u016b Bowl to the area. She explains that Plano is the perfect neighborhood for the chain to make its Texas debut owing to its passion for good food and a healthy lifestyle. \u201cI really feel like the timing couldn\u2019t be better to bring Tr\u016b Bowl to Plano.\u201d she says. \u201cThe community here cares about healthier living and wanting more wellness focused food options. Plano also has this awesome energy with steady growth and people who love checking out new food concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tr\u016b Bowl\u2019s DFW arrival was a few years in the making and started, ironically, all the way in California. Nguyen explains: \u201cA couple years back, while vacationing in Newport Beach, CA, my sister-in-law introduced us to Tr\u016b Bowl for breakfast. It was my first time trying an acai bowl and I was blown away. When I returned home to Dallas, I went searching for an acai concept that matched the same freshness, flavor, and quality\u2026 and never found one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nguyen decided to take matters into her own hands: \u201cSo in Summer 2024, I made the decision to change that..if I can\u2019t find it, why not bring Tr\u016b Bowl here? I took the leap, reached out to the brand and now, 1.5 years later, here I am, opening the first ever Tr\u016b Bowl Texas location, right here in Plano!\u201d<\/p>\n

While a\u00e7ai bowl concepts have seen a surge over the past few years, Tr\u016b Bowl sets itself apart thanks to its customization options-a characteristic that Nguyen explains really sold her on the chain. She states: \u201cWhat really set the brand apart to me was the freedom to build my own bowl! Yes, there\u2019s a solid pre-set menu, but you can also fully build your own bowl \u2013 stacking bases like A\u00e7a\u00ed, Coconut, or Pitaya, and layering additions like chia pudding, overnight oats, granola, fresh fruit, nut butters, and toppings. The best part? No extra charge!\u201d<\/p>\n

Curious about what Tr\u016b Bowl has in store once it opens its doors? Nguyen has you covered, offering this delicious insight: \u201cI like to describe Tr\u016b Bowl as a fresh superfood spot where healthy meets fun, easy, and personal. We offer a crafted menu of a\u00e7a\u00ed bowls, smoothies, protein blends, and refreshing drinks, but the real magic is that guests can also build their own bowls just how they want them, all for one flat price \u2013 so they can explore without upcharges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tr\u016b Bowl promises to be more than just a place for visitors to sate their hunger. Nguyen hopes when customers visit: \u201cThey feel welcomed and excited. The ordering is quick and interactive, the ingredients look and taste fresh, and the end result feels like it was made just for them. Whether it\u2019s a post-workout pick-me-up, a lunch break reset, or a weekend hangout.\u201d<\/p>\n

She is striving to create a pleasant and memorable experience. \u201cWe want that moment when customers take that first bite, smile, and say in their head, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m definitely coming back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Residents can soon stop dreaming of their ideal a\u00e7ai bowls and begin enjoying them. Nguyen says she is aiming to soft open Tr\u016b Bowl in January and hold a grand opening in March of 2026. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for the doors to open and for Plano to love it just as much as I did that morning on the beach.\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

If all goes according to plan, more DFW neighborhoods can look forward to savoring Tr\u016b Bowl\u2019s cuisine. Nguyen explains: \u201cThe plan is to expand to more locations across the DFW. My hope is that once TRU Bowl is open and running, the community genuinely falls in love with it. We want to be the spot people think of first when they crave something quick, healthy, and insanely good. I\u2019m excited for Plano to be the start of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plano is in good hands with Nguyen; she is committed to recapture the magic she herself felt when she first sampled the restaurant\u2019s fare, and to share that with her neighbors. She sums it up beautifully, saying: \u201cAt the end of the day, I believe people want food that feels great, tastes amazing, and keeps up with a busy lifestyle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DFW diners with a hunger for healthy cuisine, get ready for the first taste of your next culinary…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[160,162,161],"class_list":{"0":"post-76646","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-plano","9":"tag-plano-headlines","10":"tag-plano-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
