How we started

Two lifelong friends of over 30 years were puzzled as to why their bank account was shrinking. It turned out their five teenage daughters had been visiting the local Açai shop  3-4 times a week. One of the friends had been enjoying açai after his morning surf for the past five years, while the other had never even tried it. With over 45 years of combined business experience, they had a conversation, and Acai Avenue became a reality. They quickly realised that in order to succeed, they needed to bring açai to the people, rather than
waiting for customers to come to them. That’s when the idea of açai trailers emerged. Within 20 weeks they had 6 trailers, a contract with Netball NSW and today, all five of their kids work in the business, and not only are they saving money, but they’re also earning it—though the girls do still manage to sneak a few freebies on each shift!
