AFC
Advanced Fresh Concepts Franchise Corp. (AFC) grants franchises for operating Zenshi Counters, AFC Food Service Counters, and Wild Blue Counters that offer prepared sushi and other Asian-style foods in host locations such as grocery stores, retail centers, universities, and other venues. Franchisees operate full-time, part-time, or self-service counters where the host facility handles customer payments and sales reporting, with AFC and the host retaining percentages of gross sales before remitting the balance to the franchisee. The business model targets high-traffic retail and institutional locations seeking fresh, prepared sushi and Asian foods as an additional department or service.
