We’re Moving: Bumblefish Sushi Relocates to Expanded Production Facility in Rockville, Marylan

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - April 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Bumblefish is pleased to announce the relocation of its Alexandria, Virginia store to a state of the art production facility in Rockville, Maryland.  Kent Scholla, Bumblefish President and Managing Partner, tells us he’s, “extremely excited by the prospect of being able to better serve our current customers, as well as add new members to the Bumblefish family.”

Bumblefish began Maryland operations in mid-February without missing a beat. In addition, Kent Scholla announced that Bumblefish’s most experienced General Manager, Chester Uyechi, will be relocated to help manage the new Bumblefish Rockville.  

When asked for a comment, Mr. Uyechi said, “I’m very happy to have the opportunity to manage Bumblefish’s newest production-only facility. As we transition away from retail to concentrating on our wholesale clients, I am confident our customers will be pleased with the level of service we will provide.”

After beginning its life as a restaurant serving “friendly” sushi and other Asian foods, Bumblefish Sushi & More has spent the last several years moving towards a wholesale strategy. By partnering with national foodservice managers such as Aramark, Sodexo, and Compass Group, Bumblefish is able to expose thousands of people a day to fresh and healthy alternatives to the standard cafeteria fare.

James Dickey, Bumblefish’s Vice President of Operations adds, “I am proud of the way our team has handled the move seamlessly, and am looking forward to continuing to build the Bumblefish brand from Rockville.”
