Since opening its first location in 2000 at the Atwater Market in Montreal, Sushi Shop has grown into one of the country’s leading quick-service sushi brands and a household name throughout Quebec. The brand has built a loyal following with freshly prepared sushi, poke bowls and Japanese-inspired cuisine, emphasizing quality ingredients, contemporary presentation and convenient service. Its innovative menu and modern restaurant design continue to appeal to consumers seeking fresh, convenient dining options. Part of the MTY Food Group since 2006, the 170-unit chain, the majority being in Quebec, is actively expanding into new Canadian markets and seeking retail opportunities with developers and landlords. The chain is targeting locations of approximately 800 to 1200 square feet, with a preference for street-front retail, mixed-use developments, neighbourhood shopping centres, office markets, hospitals, universities and transit-oriented developments. Sushi Shop is particularly interested in high-traffic locations offering strong visibility, convenient access and a healthy combination of daytime and residential populations. The concept is well suited to urban retail corridors and community shopping centres, as well as emerging mixed-use developments where demand for fresh and convenient food continues to grow. MTY Food’s Nancy Chamberlain is handling the site selection for Central and Western Canada and Sylvain Boissy is responsible for the search in Eastern Canada.
