About Brand

Mahana Fresh is a health-focused restaurant chain committed to helping individuals “eat well and feel better about themselves.” The name “Mahana,” meaning “like the sun” in tropical regions, reflects the brand’s emphasis on warmth, positivity, and boundless energy. Their customizable menu allows guests to build their own bowls from a variety of gluten-free bases, fresh vegetables, proteins, and house-made sauces, catering to diverse dietary preferences. With locations across the United States, Mahana Fresh offers franchise opportunities for those interested in promoting healthy eating within their communities.

Why Mahana Fresh?

We’re not your typical cinnamon roll shop. In addition to being 100% vegan, we offer more than just your average ‘Old Fashioned’ roll. We have a variety of different flavors that are waiting to be explored, all made with the highest quality ingredients to tickle your taste buds. All of our products are: Dairy & lactose-free, egg-free and cholesterol-free.
• High margins and low cost of goods in a virtually non-existent “vegan” franchise category.
• Popularity due to exposure on Shark Tank in 2014 with re-runs still airing.
• Simple, small footprint, unique product, great Item 19.
