County health department lists a food establishment permit at 1330 E 200 S

Today: Bowls Superfoods record appears on health department list

Overview

Updated 41 minutes ago

A food establishment record for Bowls Superfoods at 1330 E 200 S appeared on the Salt Lake County Health Department's public list on September 17, 2026. It is one approval among several a new restaurant needs before serving customers.

The record does not mean the doors are open or that final approval exists. Bowls Superfoods already runs several locations across Salt Lake City, so this looks like a new store in an existing market. The license is a step closer, nothing more.

Why it matters

Residents near 1330 E 200 S may soon get a new acai bowl shop, now that Bowls Superfoods has filed for a health permit.

Scenarios

1

Bowls Superfoods opens at 1330 E 200 S

Likely Resolves by Mar 17, 2027

Discussed by: No analyst is publicly tracking this opening; the scenario rests on the chain's pattern of existing SLC locations.

Bowls Superfoods completes the remaining city and county approvals, finishes the buildout, and starts serving customers. The shop would likely appear on DoorDash and the chain's own site as open.

2

Bowls Superfoods opening slips past spring 2027

Possible Resolves by Jun 17, 2027

Discussed by: Local buildout and permitting timelines often run longer than expected; no named analyst has weighed in publicly.

Remaining approvals, construction, or staffing push the opening beyond six months. The record stays on file while customers wait.

3

Bowls Superfoods abandons the 1330 E 200 S site

Unlikely Resolves by Jun 17, 2027

Discussed by: No named source; a lower-probability path if the chain reassigns resources.

The company drops the project. The health department record lapses, and the address never becomes an operating restaurant.

Historical Context

2 moments from history that rhyme with this story — and how they unfolded.

1990-2010

Jamba Juice's smoothie-chain expansion (1990s-2000s)

Jamba Juice opened its first store in San Luis Obispo, California in 1990. By 2009 it ran over 700 locations, mostly company-owned plus licensed stores.

Then

It became one of the largest blended-drink chains in the US.

Now

Proved that acai and smoothie brands could scale into a national fast-casual category.

Why this matters now

Bowls Superfoods is running a smaller version of this playbook in Salt Lake City, adding locations one health permit at a time.

2006-2015

Chipotle's company-owned expansion (2006-2015)

Chipotle grew from roughly 500 restaurants in the mid-2000s to more than 2,000 by 2015, nearly all company-owned.

Then

Fast-casual chains proved they could grow aggressively through new locations.

Now

Set the template for chains scaling by opening dozens of stores a year, each needing local permits.

Why this matters now

Each Bowls Superfoods opening follows the same pattern: secure a site, get licensed, open. The health record is the first visible step.
