Quick service sushi roll restaurant SushiDog is set to expand its UK store footprint by opening two new locations in London, according to a report by The Caterer.

The first store is scheduled to open on Baker Street on 29 August while the second location will open at the end of next month at the Strand.

Both SushiDog venues will offer guests a wide array of Asian-inspired salads, signature sushi rolls and bowls, including teriyaki chicken roll and the yuzu truffle tuna salad.

By 2024, the brand reportedly plans to open more stores in the region, with a target of four additional new locations.

Established by Nick Goldstein and Greg Ilsen in 2017, SushiDog started as a kiosk at Westfield London Shepherd's Bush in May 2018.

The first brick-and-mortar SushiDog restaurant outlet was opened in 2020 at Covent Garden.

There currently are four SushiDog sites located across London.

Ilsen said: “We are excited to bring our rolls, bowls and salads to two new central London locations, offering local office workers, residents and visitors in the area a healthy and vibrant meal.

“Over the past five years, we have built a loyal brand following, which has gone from strength to strength. We can't wait to start this next chapter in our journey whilst we continue to thrive and seek out opportunities for future growth.”

In April this year, SushiDog raised capital of £612,000 ($777,084) through an investment round led by family investment office Middleton Enterprises.

Customer engagement drives metaverse investment in the foodservice sector

COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions following the Ukraine war have accelerated automation and digitalization in the foodservice sector. Home delivery services and consumer engagement through digital channels have become essential for businesses trying to stay afloat. Foodservice companies must also cope with ESG issues, the fast-changing world of work, and the global economy heading for recession and possible stagflation. The metaverse, enabled by both AR and VR, is an important tool that can help address many of the foodservice industry's key challenges.
