YouMeSushi Franchise

Youmesushi food franchise

This is an exciting time to join YouMeSushi! We are growing rapidly across the UK, paving our way to become a market leader!

Founded in 2008 in the vibrant city of London, YouMeSushi has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing sushi chains in the region. With a strong commitment to quality service and an unwavering dedication to creating food that people love, YouMeSushi has become a beloved destination for sushi enthusiasts seeking a truly exceptional dining experience. Our mission is to be recognised as the ‘go-to’ for sushi lovers, just as Dominos is for pizza. Sushi has seen an extraordinary surge in popularity across the UK and has now become the fourth largest ‘food to go’ product.

The shift in public preference for healthier, non-red meat-based food is truly nationwide, and dynamic brands committed to quality ingredients, will continue to lead the way. At the heart of YouMeSushi’s success lies its unique approach to sushi preparation. Unlike many other establishments that rely on pre-packaged or mass-produced sushi, YouMeSushi takes pride in crafting every roll on-site, ensuring the freshest and highest quality sushi is served to our customers.

The YouMeSushi menu offers a beautiful variety of healthy, fresh choices including a diverse range of YouMeSushi boxes, hot katsu and teriyaki dishes, poke bowls, and an impressive selection of vegan options. Considering that the target demographic is becoming increasingly conscious of healthy eating, and with the ever-growing popularity of clean-eating, raw, and plant-based diets, it is no wonder that the demand for YouMeSushi continues to grow.

We currently have over 26 locations in the UK with more opening soon. If you would like to find out more about joining the YouMeSushi growing network, then contact us today.

FRANCHISEE TESTIMONALS

“As an experienced QSR professional I approached YouMeSushi, interested to become a franchisee simply because my family and I loved the fresh food so much! Other brands use frozen ingredients, but YouMeSushi is always fresh and delicious. Fast forward three years and I now run three YouMeSushi outlets and the support from the team has been outstanding. The return on investment has been far quicker than other brands I’ve worked with too, so for me YouMeSushi was a top choice.”
– Wembley, Thurrock Lakeside, Stratford
