Nautical Bowls will open a new location in The Woodlands in mid-May. Nautical Bowls offers a variety of organic acai bowls. Local husband and wife Ola and Bibi Ajayi said they decided to bring the franchise to the area after finding a lack of healthy alternatives to fast food.

“We have three kids, and when we go to typical fast-food places, we end up feeling guilty about it,” Ajayi said. “When we found Nautical Bowls, we loved it, and we thought the people around us would love it, too. That's the main reason for bringing it here.”

The menu offers several different base items, such as acai; pitaya; mango; coconut; and Blue Majik, an algae extract. Customers can customize their bowls with seeds, granola, fruit, drizzles or protein.

Nautical Bowls is located at 4849 FM 1488, Ste. 1200, The Woodlands. www.facebook.com/nauticalbowlsthewoodlands
