OCEAN CITY, NJ — A second Playa Bowls location will open its doors in Ocean City on Saturday. The shop, located at 1324 Boardwalk between 13th and 14th Streets, will open at 10:30 a.m. To celebrate the store's grand opening, employees will give out free bowls and shirts to the first 50 customers in line. Playa Bowls serves fruit bowls, oatmeal bowls, smoothies and juices. The full menu can be found here. The other Playa Bowls store in Ocean City is located between 8th Street and Plymouth Place. This new store will be Playa Bowls' 111th location nationwide. Two Jersey Shore natives and longtime surfers — Robert Giuliani and Abby Taylor — founded Playa Bowls. They traveled to beaches throughout the world and noticed every exotic surf town they visited had its own version of an acai or pitaya bowl. They brought the idea back to New Jersey, making a deal with a pizza-shop owner on 8th Avenue in Belmar. Giuliana and Taylor bought a blender, patio table, fridge and freezer to create a makeshift pop-up stand on the sidewalk in front of the pizza shop.
