Award Winning Franchisee has opened The Sushi Co in Sidcup
The Sushi Co has opened in Sidcup creating ten new jobs. Award winning franchisees and experienced QSR professionals Aafaq Aslam and Zain Malik will run the restaurant along with their locally recruited team of ten.
Aafaq and Zain who are also the franchisees for The Sushi Co Brentwood - recently named ‘best restaurant’ in Essex at Englands Business Awards, East of England show - confirmed: “We’ve spent the past two and half years building up Brentwood. Based on that success, we are now super excited to bring our fresh and flavourful sushi to Sidcup.
“Previously, we were both area managers for a well-known pizza brand but had always wanted to run our own business. We recognised that trends were changing and there was a growing craving for healthier choices. We already knew The Sushi Co’s team and put our trust in their experience and vision. We’ve been rewarded through investment into a business model with wide appeal and a great ROI. The Sushi Co has supported us with training, marketing, store location and fit out. When the opportunity to open our second outlet became available, we jumped at the chance.
“Sidcup is a superb location, with no other sushi options. We are excited about the opening and now look forward to serving the community of Sidcup.”
The Sushi Co in Sidcup will offer an eat in menu for up to 25 people plus take-out and delivery options. The opening weekend offer included 50% discount for eat in orders, plus the first 200 roles were given away free.
Co-Founder of The Sushi Co, Raheel Choudhary confirms: “Sushi continues to grow in popularity in the UK. We have focused on bringing our delicious minutes fresh sushi prepared in our live kitchens, along with our amazing range of South Asian dishes, right into the mainstream. Demand is such that we continue to expand. Our management team is vastly experienced, and we can now support new franchisees on their own successful sushi journey.
“As a result, we very much open to offering franchising opportunities to like-minded individuals to take advantage of a proven and profitable business model in an expanding market. For new franchisees, site sourcing, store fit out, training, turn-key opening of stores and marketing and full training enable potential to be maximised in this thriving space.”
