    ACAI bowls might be associated with well-heeled athleisure-clad gym-goers, but Summer Acai’s regular customers are students and families in the heartlands instead.

    The company aims to provide an affordable option in a sea of pricier competitors, co-founder Jasmine Oh said.

    “Acai in Singapore has always been ‘premium’ and the stores (selling it) were always located away from the heartlands,” she told The Business Times.
