We are looking for enthusiastic business partners now!

Niihaw first opened its doors in London in 2011. In that time, we
have built a business with a proven track record of sales success and
development and have multiple stores across South London and Kent.

Ramen and Taiwan Bubble Tea for the last 11 years, always with freshness
and quality at the forefront of our menu – it’s all about the Niihaw
experience!

NiiHaw (ní hâo) means ‘hello’ in Chinese,
NiiHaw also has a double ‘ii’ in the middle, which means ‘good’ in
Japanese reflecting how our customers feel once they have visited one of
our stores!

2022 has been an incredibly exciting year for Niihaw,
we have been working hard developing our business into a robust and
comprehensive franchise offering ready to accelerate growth in 2023

Sushi has rapidly grown
in popularity in recent years, and has become on of the leading
food-to-go choices and a staple on grab and go supermarket shelves.

takeaway options, a factor that has contributed to Niihaw’s growth and
popularity. 

Our stores are simple to manage with minimal staffing
requirements, meaning low operating costs and offering a quick return
on investment compared with other take-away options. You can open a
Niihaw Sushi takeaway for as little as £105,000 plus VAT and typically
expect a return on investment in under 2 years.

This may vary and depends on several factors such as site chosen and
building costs, but typically an investment for a traditional high
street store is between £60K and £100K (excluding freehold & VAT) of
which 20k should be in liquid funds.

The franchisee fee is £17,500+ VAT for each franchise unit. You will
also be responsible for the rent, rates and utility costs of the store
for the term of the franchise agreement.

We have opportunities for potential franchisees throughout the UK.
