Hi! My name is Victoria, and I'm the Co-owner, Founder, and Manager at Waimea Bay.
Helping my mom bake cookies, neighborhood lemonade stands, and school bake sales, I've always been drawn to the kitchen. These moments sparked a lifelong passion for sharing my creations with people.
I was inspired to create Waimea based on my love for fresh, healthy, flavorful food. I had my first acai bowl in 2022 from a local spot in Chesterfield, and have been addicted ever since. I wanted somewhere to get fresh acai close to home. March 5, 2025, I got the idea to do it myself. What started off as an idea of a little stand has since turned into much more. My mom and I started brainstorming, and eventually bought our concession trailer on April 22 in Georgia. On the drive home, I was already starting to buy appliances. 29 days later, we had our grand opening. Waimea has since then grown into something tremendous. Everything has all been such a challenge, and I am so grateful for my family and community throughout this whole journey; I can't wait to see how Waimea grows!
What is your favorite part of owning Waimea?
"My favorite part of co-owning this business is getting to make everything my own. From designing the bowl recipes to helping design the storefront, I've loved getting to create my visions and watch them come to fruition." -Victoria
