Bolay Fresh Bold Kitchen recently announced it will open its second location in Gainesville with three days of grand opening events starting March 2.
The restaurant, which is known for its gluten-free and healthy menu, will hold its three-day VIP Week on Thursday through Saturday, March 2-4. During those days, guests can receive one complimentary Regular Bol or Wrap by registering online and posting about the new location on social media.
“Our first venture into Gainesville was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the local community, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to serve even more of its members and grow our footprint in the area,” Chris Gannon, Bolay’s founder and CEO, said in a press release. “Gainesville’s culture is one of learning, inspiration and being one’s best self—a perfect fit for the Bolay spirit of fresh food, bold flavors and positivity.”
The first Bolay in Gainesville opened in June 2017 in Butler Plaza. The new location is Bolay’s 28th nationwide since starting in 2016 and one of six to open in the last year.
Since coming to Gainesville, Bolay has established partnerships with the UF football team, Greek organizations, clubs and special interest groups along with supporting more than 10 charities and donating meals.
“We’re proud to have woven Bolay into the fabric of the Gator Nation and Gainesville community, from coordinating donations to local charity and community service events down to simply making a healthy meal more accessible on the go,” said Bolay Area Director Dan Risick in a press release. “This University location will only allow us to make an even greater impact.”
