Playa Bowls Opening Beach-Themed Location at Medley in Johns Creek

Locally owned by Nick Ransom and Patrick Hartmann—their second location together—the store marks Playa Bowls’ 16th in Georgia. Doors open at 11 a.m., with special offers for early guests: the first 100 customers receive a free bowl from the menu, and the first 50 also receive a free custom Playa Bowls shirt.

The menu centers on customizable superfruit bowls. Guests can choose from seven base ingredients, including acai, pitaya, coconut, and oatmeal, then add toppings such as fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, granola, dried berries, and nut butters. The acai is 100% homemade and sourced directly from Brazil. The restaurant also serves oatmeal bowls, smoothies, fresh juices, cold brew, and coffee. Options can be prepared vegan, gluten-free, or adapted for Whole30, keto, and Paleo diets.

Medley is a new addition to Johns Creek featuring a curated mix of tenants and greenspace that will convert to outdoor ice skating for the winter season. Playa Bowls was founded in New Jersey by avid surfers Robert Giuliani and Abby Taylor and has grown over the past nine years to more than 400 locations nationwide.
