The Sushi Co Secures Flagship Cambridge Site
The Sushi Co has secured a new flagship site in the centre of Cambridge which will open in the Autumn. The Sushi Co was successful following a competitive pitch for the new restaurant location which will now be constructed on the former site of Patisserie Valerie - a local icon situated on a prominent corner in the heart of the historic town in a building owned by Trinity College.
Raheel Choudhary, Co Founder of The Sushi Co confirms: “We are super excited that the Sushi Co has been selected following our proposal. We first visited the site earlier this year and felt the prominent location was perfect to bring one of our live sushi kitchens to Cambridge. Rightly, the building’s owners have looked at all the applications and completed their due diligence, and we are now delighted to confirm we will open the Sushi Co in 1-2 Bridge Street within the next few months. Cambridge is a prestigious area with a high student population and we anticipate it will become one of our busiest stores.”
The Sushi Co is also set to open more new restaurants shortly. Tower Bridge, Brighton and Basildon are all currently under construction, with a further lease secured in Walthamstow where the build will begin soon. Three more openings in the South East are in legals and the Sushi Co is also having positive discussions with landlords for a further two openings.
“This means will have 30 restaurants open by the end of 2025,” confirms Choudhary. “Customers are keen to try our fresh, flavoursome sushi made-to-order in our live kitchens and as a result, we will continue to expand to meet that growing demand.
