Açaí Republic Opens New Location in Ocoee, FL, with Grand Opening Celebration This Saturday, September 20, 2025.
Ocoee, FL – Açaí Republic, the California-born franchise known for bringing authentic Brazilian açaí to communities across the United States, is celebrating the grand opening of its newest store in Ocoee, Florida. The opening marks another step in the company’s national expansion strategy, following the successful launch of its Altamonte Springs location. On September 20th, Ocoee’s community can join the store for a day full of prizes, fun, music, and the freshest possible açaí, smoothies, and juices in town.
The Ocoee store will officially open its doors on Saturday, September 20, from 9 AM to 9 PM, inviting the community to experience the brand’s signature bowls, smoothies, juices, and Brazilian snacks. The açaí berry has become quite popular in America, particularly with the wave of health and wellness influencers and advocates. A small, dark purple, berry-like fruit with a juicy pulp is often turned into a sorbet-style meal at Açaí Republic. The brand brings to market fresh bowls and smoothies with no known artificial sweeteners or preservatives that can diminish the fruit’s antioxidant power.
To celebrate the brand’s arrival in Florida’s Orange County, Açaí Republic is offering 50% off all purchases all day using the coupon code OCOEE50 and will host a special giveaway for the first 50 guests. The first 30 customers will receive a free Açaí Republic T-shirt, a $50 gift card, and exclusive stickers. Guests 31 through 50 will receive a free T-shirt, a $30 gift card, and stickers.
About Açaí Republic
Founded in Tustin, CA, Açaí Republic was born out of founder Adriano Nasal’s vision to bring genuine Brazilian açaí—harvested straight from the Amazon Forest—to the United States. Over the last 13 years, the brand has grown into a thriving franchise enterprise with more than 35 locations across California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Florida. “Our goal is to provide a consistent and high-quality experience in every store,” said Wagner Pereira, Açaí Republic partner and entrepreneur. “We want each guest to feel the same welcoming energy and leave our stores feeling good, no matter which state they’re visiting,” says Pereira.
Açaí Republic has earned a solid reputation as a franchising enterprise. Since the beginning, the goal has been to support new entrepreneurs by providing comprehensive mentorship and training for both new and existing franchisees. The franchise system includes regular individual meetings and group training sessions to help maintain a high standard of customer experience and food quality nationwide. In addition, the company developed a mobile app with a rewards system, enabling customer engagement and helping franchisees build customer loyalty.
The Influence in Sports and Culture
Beyond its role as a growing franchise, Açaí Republic has also become a significant cultural and sporting ally, building connections with communities through high-profile partnerships. Recently, the brand was announced as an official sponsor of UFC BJJ, supporting world-class jiu-jitsu athletes on an international stage. In Hawaii, Açaí Republic teamed up with the University of Hawai’i Football program, energizing fans at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex with its bowls on game day. The brand also extended its reach into the local music scene by participating in events at the Waikīkī Shell, including the last “A Hui Hou” tribute concert on September 13th, honoring island reggae legend George “Fiji” Veikoso.
These initiatives reflect Açaí Republic’s commitment to going beyond food, fostering not only health and wellness but also the sports and cultural experiences that bring people together.
