AFC Sushi

Franchise Overview

This franchise operates sushi and Asian food service counters within host locations such as supermarkets, grocery stores, retail centers, universities, and other venues. Franchisees prepare fresh sushi, salads, and specialty Asian items daily using quality ingredients, offering grab-and-go convenience for customers. The model places independently owned and operated counters inside existing retail footprints, eliminating the need for standalone storefronts and reducing overhead costs.

Branded counter concepts include Zenshi Counters, AFC Food Service Counters, and Wild Blue Counters. Franchisees benefit from a proven operating system, training, and ongoing support from one of North America's largest sushi franchisors. The business targets health-conscious, time-pressed consumers seeking fresh, convenient meal options.

Party trays and custom platters broaden revenue opportunities beyond daily individual sales. The franchise model is scalable and accessible, with relatively low investment thresholds compared to traditional restaurant formats, making it attractive to first-time food service entrepreneurs.
