Our Team

Since 2015, Matt and John Williams have taken something they love and made it their mission to share with the Queen City!

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, they moved to Charlotte to attend their alma mater- Johnson and Wales University. Not long after graduation, Rico’s Açaí was born!

A brand that displays Matt’s passion for fresh, whole foods and John’s dedication to an awesome customer experience and growing business.

Together, they have grown Rico’s Açaí into a Charlotte staple.

We have big plans—stay tuned.

“The saying “If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life” is fully manifested in my time at Rico’s Acai.

I am driven to grow something that people genuinely love.

I am given the support to explore opportunities that help us become the most effective, efficient, successful team and brand that we can possibly be. For that freedom and support, I am truly thankful.”
