Mall-based eatery to open 1,250 units over next two decades
Sbarro, a mall-based Italian quick-service restaurant chain, has unveiled aggressive expansion plans for Japan that involve opening 1,250 units in that country over the 20 years. Sbarro's partner in joint venture/franchise agreement is JCI Inc. The two companies have already opened their first restaurant at the AEON Mall in Tokyo, and plan two more in that city during the first quarter of 2010.
"This agreement is an incredibly exciting moment for Sbarro and a key milestone in our continued international development efforts,” said Peter Beaudrault, president and CEO of Sbarro “In Tokyo, we've seen an immediate and powerful response from consumers who have already very warmly embraced the Sbarro brand. Working in tandem with the great team at JCI Inc., we are poised to aggressively expand the Sbarro footprint throughout all of Japan."
U.S.-based Sbarro currently operates 1,000 restaurants in 42 countries.
