FRANCHISE PARTNERS:
Jo-Anne & Clayton Watt, Angela & Hayden Mathews
"We saw a really good market opportunity for sushi in Albury & now we're trading, the store is going well" Jo-Anne Watt, April 2011
"We approached Go Sushi after seeing a gap in the market for Sushi in Albury. Go Sushi then sprang into action. They found a great site for us, negotiated the lease, built the store, trained us and we opened our store just before Xmas 2010. We were obviously nervous about starting the new business: the capital outlay and potential risks involved. But the store has been a success! Our marketing activity has now kicked in, getting people to know where we are. The support from Head Office has been fantastic. They've really supported us operationally. We're certainly keen to look at a 2nd store in regional NSW very soon! "

"The store is growing so quickly"
Mark Blake, April 2011
"We've now been Go Sushi Franchise Partners for 6 years. We had a successful Go Sushi business in Toowoomba but at the end of our lease had to relocate.
The Go Sushi team were just fantastic, negotiating a new lease, designing and setting up a new store to protect our initial investment. Nothing was too much trouble to the head office team. We were obviously concerned about moving location but the new store has just gone from strength to strength.
Our sales are increasing in double digits month on month, and year on year sales are up by over 20%. Our store is fully managed, we wanted a business that could "stand on its own two feet" without us being there all the time, and give us a good passive income.
Go Sushi is absolutely doing this and we are really pleased with our investment. So much so, we are looking for another location to do another Go Sushi. "

"I'm really pleased with the sales growth of the store. If we now add in "catering" to the mix, I see massive potential" Peter Matthews, April 2011
Peter and Gae purchased an existing Go Sushi store in July 2010. Straight away. Once Peter was working in the store, it experienced a sharp increase in sales. In fact sales year on year (by month) have increased 30-50%, which is an incredible effort.
"We came into this knowing we could make a difference in sales just by going back to basics. Head Office has supported us all the way with training, marketing initiatives and now assisting with sales leads and logisitics of the catering function. Last December we had the best turnover month at this store since it opened over 3 years ago. I see a great future for the store!"
