SAM CARSON
HEAD OF FRANCHISE SALES AND OPERATIONS
Sam is Ben’s Acai Brother from another mother and the other half and brain to this dynamic fruit loving duo. An Australian track star in another life, it’s believed that it was the consumption of copious amounts of acai that made him run so fast. A business and marketing major from university, Sam also put his degree to good use, running a successful gym franchise from a young age. However, like Ben, Sam didn’t find his true calling till he stumbled across a mysterious purple berry with an Amazonian heritage.
Head of Franchise Sales and Operations, Sam leads up the company’s franchising
department and provides the group with extensive knowledge and
guidance when it comes to operational compliance, legal and
finance. With his extensive background, Sam’s strengths lie in
the development of businesses, and fostering strong relationships and
networks to contribute to the overall success of the Acai Brothers company.
WHO ARE WE
Acai Brothers are Australia’s leading Superfood Bar franchise and have become internationally recognised for their innovation within the hospitality realm. Specialising in Acai Bowls, Smoothies, Juices, Coffee and more, Acai Brothers have become widely renowned for creating delicious and affordable healthy food options.
Despite the name, Acai Brothers was in fact the brain-child of two best mates, Ben Day and Sam Carson. After opening and operating their first store in 2014, the boys have now grown their brand to over 20 stores nationally. Grounded within health and fitness, Ben and Sam were motivated to create a brand that not only supplied their customers with a healthy way to eat out, but one that encompassed and embodied important qualities such as community, lifestyle and fitness.
Known for their cheeky and innovative marketing techniques, Acai Brothers have become dominant contenders within their industry. With plans to expand into the international market in 2019, it’s safe to say the boys don’t plan to slow down any time soon.
