Oakberry Opens Flagship Açaí Store In Venice Beach

VENICE, CA — The first time açaí brand Oakberry founder Georgios Frangulis got the idea to create his business he was in Venice Beach. Six years later, a new location is set to open in the area this week.

Oakberry's newest store in Venice Beach is located at 1432 S. Abbot Kinney Blvd. and is the first of more than a dozen planned store openings in the United States. In celebration of the new store's opening, the first 300 guests who visit on April 13 will receive a free 12-ounce açaí bowl no purchase necessary.

"The first time I had the idea to create OAKBERRY, I was in Venice Beach and since then, açaí has grown rapidly in popularity and we've opened 600 locations," Frangulis said. "To be back here six years later on the very street where OAKBERRY was conceived – opening a storefront and serving the community our delicious bowls and smoothies – is an incredibly special moment."

The brightly-decorated store is designed to indulge guests in the brand's multiple flavors and collection of curated and unlimited toppings and celebrate the local neighborhood's vibes. Guests are welcome to sit and enjoy menu items in the dual-leveled store.

Oakberry was founded in 2016 as a superfood hub focused on açaí and has more than 600 locations throughout 30 different countries including Brazil, China and Saudi Arabia
