“After that, the Carolinas and Georgia are primed for growth. What’s great is that we offer two different build out options for our franchisees: a neighbourhood sushi bar and then a higher end teppanyaki house / sushi bar combo with a larger footprint.”

Co-founded by Angel and James Aguayo, Sushi Sake opened its first location in 2009 to offer late-night, Asian fusion dining options to the customers. Currently, the restaurant chain has 15 outlets.

In addition to sushi, the restaurant serves traditional Japanese cuisines such as hibachi, teriyaki and sashimi.

Angel Aguayo said: “Sushi Sake is the sushi lover’s go-to destination in South Florida.

“Our devoted guests have driven our growth, and our new franchisees will only help to bring our brand into a new decade of success.”
