Oakberry could open its first Edinburgh açaí shop soon, with the global brand submitting plans to the council.
Signage details were submitted this week which would see the popular fruit bowl and smoothie retailer move into a vacant unit on Leith Street, part of the St James Quarter development.
The brand is renowned for its health-conscious açaí bowls and smoothies with unlimited toppings. Products are sourced from the Brazilian Amazon and are customisable.
The shop would be Oakberry's first Scottish location, with several in Australia, the United States and South America.
On their website they state: "The Açaí fruit has long been an important food source for the Amazon region, in Brazil. It comes from a native tree (Açaí Palm Tree) and its cultivation brings a net-positive impact to the Amazon Forest, preventing deforestation and being considered the Amazon Guardian.
"At OAKBERRY, we are on a journey to make açaí known and appreciated all over the globe. Our organic açaí bowls with unlimited toppings are now part of the healthy lifestyle of millions of people in many countries, becoming even more present among health-conscious individuals."
The global brand has applied for permission for two hanging signs and a fascia sign on Leith Street which will feature its iconic purple logo.
