This autumn, leading European sushi group, Sushi Shop will expand its UK portfolio with the opening of two new London sites in 2017.
With existing shops in Marylebone, South Kensington and Notting Hill, the new locations will be the first outside central London for the brand.
Opening in Hampstead and Richmond, both will follow the tried and tested Sushi Shop footprint, offering a wide range of Japanese and Californian-inspired sushi, sashimi, poke, tartare and more, available for collection or local delivery.
The openings mark the first two in a series for London as the company looks to expand further into the UK market, with additional ‘neighbourhood’ venues planned for 2018.
Established by two French entrepreneurs in 1998, Sushi Shop has grown to encompass over 130 ‘shops’ globally, including those in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the UAE, the Netherlands and Spain.
Known for its high quality, made-to-order sushi, the premium high street brand continually strives for product innovation, regularly collaborating with leading chefs (Joel Robuchon, Kei Kobayashi) and creatives (Kenzo, Kate Moss, Scott Campbell) to continually delight its customers.
Founder Gregory Marciano commented, 'Sushi Shop has long been known for its creativity as a brand. We continually strive to find interesting individuals to work with, bringing our customers exciting new products whilst maintaining high standards for all our sushi.
'The new sites are the continuation of our ongoing love affair with the English. We are delighted with the warm welcome we’ve received from Londoners over the last few years, and hope the new sites will prove just as popular, with locals and visitors alike.'
Marking the brand’s twentieth year of trading, 2018 looks to be a significant year for Sushi Shop and will see additional venues opening across the UK capital. The company will also collaborate with a leading, globally-renowned Michelin-starred chef, in celebration of its twentieth anniversary.
