Sarku Japan, the largest and most successful Japanese quick-service restaurant chain in the U.S., continues to expand globally with a major franchise deal in South America.

Sarku Japan and Frisby Corporation entered a multi-year master license agreement to open 20 Sarku Japan restaurants in Colombia over the next 10 years.

“Frisby Corporation is the perfect partner for us in Colombia,” says Ben Kitay, president of Sarku Japan. “As the leading quick-service restaurant operator in Colombia, our new partner, Frisby Corporation, is poised for success in bringing Sarku Japan’s signature teriyaki and sushi to the Colombian people.”

“We are pleased to enter this joint venture with Sarku Japan, as they are a solid brand, offering huge potential for growth,” says Frisby Corporation owner Alfredo Hoyos Mazuera. “We look forward to a long-standing and mutually beneficial relationship.”
