Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop™ Offers Robust Support and Training

Industry-leading support from global franchising experts is with owners every step of the way

Experience counts. That’s why Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop franchise owners benefit from a seasoned, robust training platform to help entrepreneurs who are passionate about fulfilling the growing demand for high-quality sushi in their communities.

Ginger Sushi has introduced a first-to-market concept to the U.S. with a proven business model alongside robust training and support to help the first wave of franchisees on grand opening day and beyond.

“We test all of our new franchisees before they graduate training,” says Marie-Elene, Director of Operations with Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop. “If they pass, they can move on to focusing on their grand opening. If they fail, they have to attend training again. We’re very serious about training because our brand is known for artistic and complex products, as well as exceptional customer service. We have to maintain our high standards for our brand’s customers.”

Franchisees have access to industry-leading marketing support

One of the perks of becoming a Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop franchise owner is the support of Kahala Brands™ and MTY Group™, two franchise giants who own 60 brands and have franchised more than 5,500 locations in nearly 30 countries. A franchisor of this size comes with an in-house marketing and public relations team, for instance, which will significantly reduce promotional expenses.

“We recognize that our franchisees are not marketing experts,” says Emilie Mercier, Marketing Manager with Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop. “We support them at the local level, from the start of their grand opening and every day after, and we support them at the national level to help grow brand awareness and encourage customers to visit their restaurant.”

Immersive training fully prepares franchisees

As part of the onboarding process franchisees spend four weeks at an operating restaurant for completely immersive training. They become experts in preparing and serving all menu items, including learning how to hand-roll sushi. Additionally, they learn the ins and outs of daily operations, working in every role in the restaurant — from greeting customers and using the POS system to taking inventory and managing a crew. By the end of the training experience, they are ready to successfully launch their Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop.

Ginger Sushi + Poke Shop may be new to the United States market, but in Canada where the concept is known as Sushi Shop, its proven business model helped the brand grow to more than 150 locations. As one of Canada’s largest sushi franchises, with millions of devoted fans, we helped dozens of entrepreneurs open a sushi business that is straightforward to manage, easy to scale and quick to become a dynamic part of the communities we serve.

Ginger Sushi now is bringing this proven concept to the United States, where sushi is a $3 billion annual industry that continues to grow. We’re actively seeking entrepreneurs with a passion for sushi, for leading a team and for taking a meaningful role in their communities to join us as we rapidly expand across the nation.
