“We are thrilled to bring Rush Bowls to both the NC State campus and the Raleigh community,” says Jason. “As a family that really values a healthy lifestyle, we knew we had to introduce a healthy, delicious option for students and families, and Rush Bowls is just that.”
Jason and Anna Mack are no strangers to running a successful business. After starting a children’s accessory shop in their basement, the couple grew their business to two brick and mortar locations and an Etsy shop that they ran for over five years.
