Founders Trace and Jammie MillerFounded in 2023 by Trace and Jammie Miller, better-for-you brand Konala – named after their two rescue dogs, Kona and Nala – offers gluten-free protein bowls served through a drive-thru model.
The Idaho-based brand is expanding its corporate footprint across state lines with two new locations in key Western markets: Spokane, Wash., and Spanish Springs, Nev.
“The response to Konala has exceeded even our most optimistic expectations,” says Trace Miller, founder and CEO. “We believe so strongly in the model that we’re continuing to invest in it ourselves. These corporate stores allow us to test, learn, and push the brand forward – while also showing franchisees what’s possible.”
Konala is doubling down on growth through both franchising and corporate development. They have recently announced multi-unit franchise deals in Utah, Montana and New Jersey.
