Konala , a fast-growing brand celebrated for its high-protein, 100% gluten-free bowls, has made its East Coast debut at 11 Franklin Avenue in Belleville. This launch represents the first step in a broader strategy to bring the healthy fast-food model to communities across the region. “Watching our first New Jersey location come to life, and seeing it packed with guests from day one, has been incredible,” said Menicola. “Opening our first East Coast location is an exciting milestone for Konala and another step in proving that our model resonates in markets across the country,” said Trace Miller, founder and CEO of Konala.
