A global açaí and smoothie brand is set to open its first store in Northern Ireland.
Oakberry is a "healthy fast-food" company and is the largest açaí franchise in the world with over 600 locations worldwide.
Started in São Paulo Brazil back in 2016, it has become one of the world's leading brands in the industry and expanded into the UK for the first time last year.

Oakberry UK opened its first store in Brighton in summer 2022 and a poster that appeared on a former South Belfast cafe has hinted that Belfast is next.
A sign reading "Belfast we are coming soon" with a picture of the famous Oakberry açaí bowls is currently hanging in the window of the former Guilt Trip Donuts shop on the Lisburn Road.
Oakberry says its mission is to "provide a delicious, natural, and nutritious experience quickly, changing the way fast food is perceived".
Açaí is a berry from the Euterpe palm, a native tree to the Amazon rainforest, an area with a tropical climate and is a natural antioxidant that is rich in Potassium and Calcium, Vitamin E and healthy fatty acids like Omega 6 and 9.
There is no indication of when the store may open as work does not appear to have begun on the unit but the company have hinted at the opening of a new location on their social media pages.
