Sarku Japan® Continues Expansion with Teriyaki and Sushi Express Opening in Silver Springs, MD

July 19, 2011 - PRLog -- (SILVER SPRINGS, MD) July 18, 2011 – Sarku Japan®, the largest and most successful Japanese Quick Service Restaurant chain (QSR) in the United States, will take its sizzling teriyaki and made-to-order sushi from mall food courts to the streets. On July 18th, Sarku Japan® will open its new free-standing concept, Teriyaki and Sushi Express in Silver Springs. Touting the brand promise “Fresh Happens Here,” the restaurant will feature chefs preparing made-to-order sushi and signature teriyaki recipes on a Teppanyaki grill, fresh for guests to enjoy. The Silver Springs franchise, located at 11201 New Hampshire Avenue at the White Oak Shopping Center, will be Sarku’s third free-standing concept in Maryland.

“We are thrilled to be opening the newest Sarku Japan® storefront in Silver Springs,“ said Bruce Kim, Director of Franchise Development. “The growing popularity of Asian Quick Service Restaurants has reflected a change in American appetites. More people are health-conscious, and Japanese food – including our made-to-order teriyaki and sushi – satisfies a desire for fast food alternatives that are low-fat and fresh.”

According to Kim, with the popularity of healthy Japanese quick service food like teriyaki and sushi on the rise, there has never been a better time to open a Sarku Japan® franchise. The company offers franchisee support in all areas including training, operations, and marketing.
