Playa Bowls Signs Lease for First Shop in Canada at The Well in Toronto

April 02, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // TORONTO — Playa Bowls announced its international debut in Toronto. The shop will mark Playa Bowls’ first location in Canada and is expected to open this spring.

Known for its vibrant, better-for-you menu of acai bowls, smoothies, and juices made with fresh ingredients, Playa Bowls combines nutrient-dense fruits with a beach-inspired atmosphere that has built a following across the U.S.

The shop will open within The Well, a vibrant, indoor-outdoor mixed-use development at the intersection of Spadina Avenue and Front Street in downtown Toronto. The prominent downtown setting will introduce Playa Bowls to one of the city’s most lively urban hubs.

“Canada has one of the most sophisticated restaurant markets in North America, and consumers here quickly recognize concepts that feel authentic and distinctive,” said George Heos, co-founder of Eat Up Canada Inc. “When we first experienced Playa Bowls, what stood out immediately was the energy around the brand. Playa Bowls brings a fresh perspective to the fast-casual space, and we’re excited to introduce something that feels both new and culturally relevant.”

“Expanding into Canada is a major milestone for Playa Bowls, and launching our first international location in a world-class city like Toronto is a strong way to begin that next chapter,” said John Cappasola, CEO of Playa Bowls. “George, Alex, and the Eat Up Canada team bring deep experience building restaurant brands in the Canadian market, and we have tremendous confidence in their ability to grow Playa Bowls in a way that preserves the authenticity, culture, and guest experience that define our brand.”
