Rush Bowls, known for its meals-in-a-bowl, is entering New York Saturday with a grand in Poughkeepsie. The addition grows the brand's footprint to 21 states as part of its nationwide expansion.

"Expanding Rush Bowls into New York is exciting, especially to bring fresh, healthy eats to my home state and the place that kick started my career," Andrew Pudalov, founder and CEO of Rush Bowls, said in a company press release. "It's a remarkable journey to not only witness our brand's growth but also to provide nourishing options to New York's vibrant communities."

Founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 2004, Rush Bowls began franchising in 2016.

"We always look forward to entering new markets, but New York is one we've been anticipating for a while," Nicole McCray, SVP and CMO of Rush Bowls, said in the release. "We can't wait to be a part of Poughkeepsie's health and wellness scene, fueling its residents with our wholesome, convenient meals and supporting their active lifestyles."

In addition to Rush Bowls' expansion in New York, the brand announced its launch into New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It now has 47 locations and more than 100 stores in various stages of development.
