Ace Sushi (Non-Traditional)
Ace Sushi Franchise Corporation offers franchises for operating sushi bars in non-traditional host venues such as university or college campuses and hospitals, where franchisees can run a main sushi bar or deliver products to satellite locations from a central kitchen. The business focuses on providing fresh, healthy, high-quality raw and cooked sushi, Asian fusion foods, and optional hot foods or fresh juices for eat-and-go or carry-out consumption at competitive prices. The model relies on agreements between the franchisor's affiliate and venue owners, targeting students, faculty, staff, patients, and visitors seeking quick, convenient meals.
