Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop has signed a franchise deal with husband and wife team, Rajat and Anu Bedi, to open a Charlotte, North Carolina location.
The store, according to a press release, will create nearly 20 jobs for the local community. The brand opened its first shop in 2000 and now operates more than 150 locations. Its first U.S. location opened in Florida last year.
"Sushi Shop's/Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop’s Canadian presence has grown to over 150 locations because people fell in love with the inventive and creative menu, and we anticipate Americans will be just as passionate about the innovative sushi concept. We are thrilled that Charlotte is one of the first markets to welcome Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop, and we're happy to collaborate with experienced franchise owners like the Bedis," said John Wuycheck, senior vice president of franchise development, in the release.
