This December, Teriyaki Madness, the Seattle-style Teriyaki Shop franchise with locations all over the country, is officially bringing its beloved menu to the people of Connecticut. Schanke and Poynton are set to open the newest Teriyaki Madness shop at 2100 Dixwell Ave. Hamden, CT 06514 on December 15th.
Schanke and Poynton’s Teriyaki Shop will offer huge, satisfying teriyaki bowls filled with addicting flavors and high-quality ingredients like all-natural marinated chicken, steak, salmon or tofu with fresh, stir-fry veggies and a base of steamed white, brown or fried rice or Yakisoba noodles. The best part? They’re healthy. Or not. The menu is fully customizable, so do your thing — we’re not judging.
With a background in AT&T Advertising Solutions and successful ventures in Jersey Mike’s Subs, Schanke and Poynton are seasoned entrepreneurs. Their expertise in both advertising and franchising speaks volumes about their dedication to growth and community.
Teriyaki Madness immediately resonated with the couple due to its fresh, made-to-order culinary offerings, perfectly in sync with their personal values. However, their aspirations reach beyond mere profitability. Their mission revolves around creating an empowering work environment where employees can thrive and eventually realize their dreams of owning their own ventures.
To celebrate, Schanke and Poynton are inviting locals out to the Shop’s grand opening — and trust us, there ain’t no party like a teriyaki party because a teriyaki party don’t stop. Events from [12/12] & [12/13] will include:

“We are very excited to be opening in Hamden and offer this new concept to the community,” says Schanke. “Teriyaki Madness offers a fresh product, made-to-order and never pre-packaged. It also allows us to connect with people in the community and the people who work with us. And it is something we are passionate about because the brand has the right core values.”
Teriyaki Madness is expanding rapidly in markets across the U.S. and was named the number one Fastest-Growing Big Restaurant Chain in the U.S. by Restaurant Business. With more than 130 shops across three countries, Teriyaki Madness is continuing to change the franchising industry. Now, the brand is leveraging that momentum for an even bigger 2023.
“Listen — there are some things in this world that you just can’t deny, and people’s love of Teriyaki Madness is one of them,” Michael Haith, CEO of Teriyaki Madness, says. “From customers and franchisees alike, the demand for Teriyaki Madness is growing everywhere, and we have no plans to slow down anytime soon. Schanke and Poynton’s new location in Hamden is a big moment for us and is another important step in our mission to bowl over the whole country with delicious teriyaki.”
