There’s a reason our latest client’s stores are found everywhere in Seattle; teriyaki is fast, delicious, and healthy. The founders’ love affair with teriyaki started in Seattle as students, then was brought home to Las Vegas in 2003 to see if it would work in a totally different market. It wasn’t long before they had built a community of raving fans and average unit volumes (AUV) over a million dollars. In 2012, after proving the business model, with 7 open shops, this company began building its community of teriyaki shop owners and food fanatics nationwide. With success across the country, they took it to the next level. Now they are expanding quickly and operate in 27+ states with 100+ open shops.
Asian food is the Global Hot Trend and the fastest growing food segment showing nearly 500% growth since 1999. Our client has amazing shop sales and profitability with a low investment cost. Managed by an experienced group of fast casual executives combined with a mature business system, paves the way for their growth.
