Goodness Bowls, a popular healthy food franchise known for its açaí bowls, smoothies, and salads, is opening a new location in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. This will be the company's second spot in Cape May County, with an existing location in Avalon. The new Sea Isle City restaurant is set to open in time for the 2026 summer season.

Why it matters

The addition of Goodness Bowls in Sea Isle City provides a fresh, healthy dining option for beachgoers and residents in an area traditionally dominated by boardwalk fare like pizza, funnel cakes, and french fries. The franchise's expansion signals growing demand for nutritious, on-the-go food options at the Jersey Shore.

The details

The new Goodness Bowls location will be situated at 5011 Landis Ave, in a space previously occupied by Sea Isle Laundry. It will be across the street from Azzurra Pizza. This will be the third new franchise location opening in the Delaware Valley this summer, with additional spots planned for Haddon Township and Paoli. The Sea Isle City restaurant will be owned and operated by the same mother-daughter team, Sue and Corinne Persichetti, who opened the original Avalon location in 2019.

  • Goodness Bowls plans to open the new Sea Isle City location over Memorial Day weekend in 2026.
  • The company is currently hiring for the 2026 summer season at the new Sea Isle City restaurant.
