MAI SUSHI BARS

FDD Year:

Mai Sushi Bars franchises enable operators to run sushi bars in third-party retail locations like supermarkets, grocery stores, hospitals, and corporate cafeterias, offering pre-packaged and made-to-order sushi, Japanese foods, soups, rice bowls, noodle bowls, vegetable bowls, and related items. Franchisees may also manage satellite sushi bars within a 40-mile radius, using the franchisor's proprietary system for preparation, operations, and merchandising. The business model relies on vendor agreements negotiated by the franchisor, targeting high-traffic urban and suburban customers seeking convenient, fresh sushi and Japanese cuisine.
