The teriyaki shop franchise is continuing to grow its presence in Ohio with plans to expand in the Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland metro areas.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Teriyaki Madness (TMAD), the wildly popular Seattle-style teriyaki shop franchise, is on a mission to add some zest to the food scene in Ohio. With four sizzling shops already serving up deliciousness across the state and five more on the grill, TMAD is on a roll, cooking up big plans for expansion. Next on the menu? Bringing even more flavorful, healthy teriyaki bowls to the bustling cities around Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland.
"Our expansion within Ohio is a natural next step for TMAD as we continue to see high demand for our food there," said Patrick Pounders, Executive Director of Franchise Development. "TMAD is a great fit for growing cities that many active, working adults call home. Many of these guests have been looking for delicious food that happens to be healthier than the established choices in the area, and we fit within that niche quite well."
"Our catering program is a big part of our business, making up about 40% of our sales from Monday through Saturday," said Dhruv Patel, a TMAD franchisee in Ohio who has been partnering with sports teams such as the Ohio State Buckeyes. "We cater to a wide variety of customers, including private doctors' offices, pharmaceutical reps and college athletic programs. This wide reach significantly boosts our sales."
With plans to open 10-15 additional shops in Ohio over the next five years, TMAD is well-positioned to serve an increasingly health-conscious market. By offering a range of customizable options, TMAD appeals to everyone from busy professionals to families on the go, delivering a fast casual experience that emphasizes quality ingredients and big, bold flavors.
"TMAD's expansion strategy focuses not only on growth but on finding the right locations to bring our fresh, customizable bowls to communities that truly appreciate what we offer," said CEO Michael Haith. "We are thrilled about the potential in Ohio as we see a strong alignment with our brand values and customer base."
Teriyaki Madness franchisees receive a comprehensive support suite designed to help them thrive, and finding these prime locations is a key part of this. The real estate market in the Ohio metro areas is as competitive as markets in other parts of the country, according to Pounders. And we have been incredibly successful in securing Class A retail spaces as TMAD's reputation amongst the Real Estate community grows.
TMAD's extensive onboarding and training process includes everything from immersive sessions at the corporate headquarters to hands-on training in operational shops, ensuring that franchisees are well-prepared from day one. TMAD also provides ongoing operational guidance through a dedicated operations service manager who supports franchisees throughout the process of site selection, grand opening and day-to-day operations. Business coaches regularly visit Ohio to engage with local franchisees, fostering a supportive network.
Franchisee's success is further supported by Mad University, a platform offering continuous educational resources and community support for Teriyaki Madness owners. In addition to the brand's robust support structure, franchisees also benefit from TMAD's best-in-class technology 'stack', which includes options for to-go, pickup, delivery and Mad Dash curbside services, meeting the incessant demand for convenient dining experiences.
With new shops on the horizon and a proven recipe for success, TMAD is fired up to bring its crave-worthy teriyaki bowls to even more communities across Ohio. As more shops pop up, Teriyaki Madness is ready to serve up a healthier, tastier alternative to the usual fast food fare—one generous, sizzling bowl at a time!
