The Famous Fish Co by Costi business is set to bring fresh seafood to more Australians than ever, with Steve Costi announcing the brand’s foray into franchising. 

The business has teamed up with Menzies Partners on the development of its franchise strategy, who have become shareholders in the company. 

They have produced a plan for the Fish Co by Costi business, which encompasses everything from franchise recruitment and store design to marketing and financial models.

Menzies Partners director, Jon Sully has a proven track record in franchising, having grown the Michel’s network to over 360 stores throughout Australia.

There are plans to open 250 dine-in/take-away restaurants, which serve both seafood and salads, across the country.  

There are six stores currently in the franchise program and a number of new stores are under development in Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, on the NSW Central Coast and in Melbourne.
