Sushi Sushi Story

From family fish shop to Australia’s largest and most loved Sushi Franchise

Sushi Sushi was born in 1998 with a bold mission: make sushi fresh, accessible, and part of everyday life in Australia. From the very first store in Box Hill, Victoria, the founders focused on quality, craftsmanship, and customer experience. Rolls were made by hand, using premium ingredients, and served in a casual, approachable format.

The early success led to franchising, empowering customers and entrepreneurs to share in the brand’s growth. Today, Sushi Sushi operates over 180 stores in Australia and New Zealand, maintaining the same quality, freshness, and care that defined the first store.
