The Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 presented the biggest franchisee support challenges, as well as operation of stores during the Christchurch mosque attacks and more recently the COVID-19 Pandemic years.
Favourite thing about being part of the Sushi Sushi family: Watching and assisting our franchisee partners grow their business and ‘customer-love’ over time, championing our success stories - as well as supporting our wider crew-community through our training programs which helps them develop their skill-set and shape their future opportunities.
