BOSTON, MA /24-7PressRelease/ -- On August 12th, Sarku Japan the largest and most successful Japanese quick service restaurant chain (QSR) in the United States, takes its sizzling Teriyaki and made-to-order sushi from mall food courts to the streets of College Park, MD with the opening of a new store-front Teriyaki and Sushi Express franchise. Located at 10280 Baltimore Avenue, the store touts the brand promise "Fresh Happens Here". Sarku chefs prepare made-to-order sushi and signature Teriyaki recipes on a Teppanyaki grill, fresh for guests to enjoy.

Now after 20 years in the United States, Ms. Lin, is opening Maryland's first Sarku Japan store-front. "It's such a thrill to be a new business owner and a pleasure to join the Sarku Japan franchise team," explains Ms. Lin. "Sarku's approach to offering fresh made-to-order sushi and teriyaki is on point with the current trends in Japanese cuisine."
Franchising has grown more than 40% between 2001-2008 and is expected to grow another 18,000 units in 2010, creating new job opportunities and new sources of income.

A runaway hit since first opening outside of Boston just over 20 years ago, Sarku Japan currently has over 200 locations in food courts within high-profile mall locations throughout 37 states. New franchise store-front locations are slated to open in successful strip malls and shopping centers with strong population density, high traffic counts, good visibility and ample parking.
