New restaurant opens 1st Dayton-area location at Austin Landing

A health-focused restaurant concept known for its fruit- and veggie-based bowls and smoothies opened its first Dayton-area location, and only the second in Ohio, on Thursday, Dec. 6 at the Austin Landing development in southern Montgomery County.

Frutta Bowls is a restaurant concept that began just two years ago in New Jersey and has spread to a dozen states. The restaurant chain opened its first Ohio location earlier this year in Deerfield Towne Center in southern Warren County.
