Asian food Franchises are on Fire
Asian food franchises are an untapped niche in the fast-casual and QSR categories, due to the historic predominance of buffet and full-service restaurants. And today’s demand for casual dining and takeaway isn’t going anywhere.
- Asian food is the fastest-growing cuisine in the U.S., with sales increasing by 135% as recently as 2015
- Sushi sells – this specialty saw 12% annual sales growth in 2018
- As an industry, quick serve restaurants are forecast to reach $260 billion in 2021
We’ve taken traditional conveyer sushi and hibachi grills and transformed those Asian restaurant favorites into a new format.
Sho Express is an exciting new fast-casual Asian food franchise that is ready to grow.

Get to Know Sho
Enjoy all the benefits of being part of the asian restaurant franchises family
A shogun is a leader, and that’s what we aim to be. In 2014, the Sho Express vision took shape in St. Louis. Even back then, with a mission to serve up flavorful Japanese food fused with American influences, in a fun and friendly environment, we knew we were on to something.
Fast forward to today. With nine locations in three states under the Sho Express umbrella, a perfected and established concept, and a prime position at the intersection of some pretty incredible food trends, we’re ready to take our Sho on the road – the franchising road, that is, and we’re looking for confident, motivated leaders to join us.
