Konala’s First Utah Location: A Healthy Fast-Food Revolution Near BYU

Konala Set to Launch in Utah

Provo, Utah – This summer, Konala, a franchise known for its healthy fast-food offering, is making its debut in Utah. The opening location, situated at 210 W Cougar Blvd, will cater to the health-conscious communities near Brigham Young University (BYU). This exciting new venture is owned and run by Tyson Adams, alongside his parents, Melanie and Laird.

The grand opening is scheduled for May 28, where guests will have the chance to enjoy a day full of promotions and giveaways. The first 100 customers will receive swag items and be entered into a raffle for gift cards valued between $20 and $100. Additionally, customers who retain their receipts from opening day will be eligible for a complimentary bowl on their next visit. Signing up for the rewards program on that day will also allow participants to win free Konala meals for a year.

Tyson Adams has dedicated years to restaurant management, having launched his own food truck and previously earning accolades as Jersey Mike's Manager of the Year in Washington State. This background has nurtured his passion for hospitality and effective team leadership, making his transition to Konala an obvious next step. Adams expressed his excitement: “I quickly fell in love with Konala because it offers something different from what much of the quick-service industry looks like today. The food is fresh, healthy, and convenient.”

Adams views the new restaurant as an opportunity not only to serve the local community but also as a stepping stone for personal growth as a multi-unit franchise owner. Reflecting on his choice of Konala among numerous franchise options, he was particularly attracted to its focus on healthy, quick meals that align with changing consumer preferences toward better-for-you dining.

The proximity to BYU positions Provo as an ideal market for family-centric, health-forward dining options. Adams’ own active lifestyle is a strong match for the brand's ethos, which emphasizes clarity in nutrition and efficient food preparations. He, along with his family, has been heavily involved in the setup process, even engaging in physical labor like demolition to prepare the restaurant for its opening.

Trace Miller, the founder and CEO of Konala, commended the Adams family for their dedication and commitment, stating, “Tyson and his family bring a level of passion and hands-on commitment that makes them an outstanding fit for the Konala brand. We’re excited to bring Konala to the Provo community.”

Konala aims to redefine the quick-service food sector by prioritizing high-protein bowls and salads crafted from fresh ingredients. Its business model targets busy consumers who need convenient health-oriented meals without compromising either speed or flavor. As the Franchise expands, it is gaining traction, responding to growing consumer demand for nutritious and readily available meals.

Konala was founded in 2023 by Trace and Jammie Miller, embodying a commitment to their own healthy living philosophy. Inspired by their rescue dogs, Kona and Nala, the establishment emphasizes a variety of flavor profiles, including favorites like Teriyaki Chicken and Greek Steak, ensuring wholesome offerings devoid of gluten and fried options. Each bowl averages 46 grams of protein and is designed to nourish families on the go.

With online ordering and delivery options, Konala is making it easier to enjoy healthy meals without the associated hassle of traditional dining. As they expand their operations, Konala continues to focus on efficient service, labor needs, and a health-conscious menu to meet the evolving demands of consumers.
