Bunsik franchisee to open second site next week with Southampton outlet

Will Bray, who became the first franchise partner of the Maguro Group-owned, Korean street food concept, Bunsik, is to open his second site next week, in Southampton. 

Last September, Maguro Group opened its first franchise location with the launch of a Bunsik in Bristol’s Cabot Circus in partnership with Bray, who previously ran a four-strong Subway portfolio in the south west. Now, Maguro Group and Bray are opening in the food court of the Westquay shopping centre in Southampton on Thursday, 30 April – marking the first Bunsik in Hampshire. 

Jae Cho, founder of Bunsik, said: “Following the success of our Bristol site, it’s been fantastic to continue working with Will as we grow. He has a strong understanding of both the product and the customer experience, which is important to us as we expand. Southampton is a natural next step, and we’re confident this site will build on that momentum.” 

Bray added: “The response in Bristol has given us a strong foundation to build from, and we’re excited to continue that momentum in Southampton. There is a real opportunity to grow Bunsik across the region, particularly in cities with a strong student population and appetite for something new. We’re looking forward to bringing Bunsik to the south coast and seeing it become part of the city's food scene.” 

The Southampton opening marks the tenth Bunsik in total, and Bray is also set to open a Bunsik site in Cardiff.
