One store in the Go Sushi chain has reported a 29 percent increase in sales for February 2009 over last yearÕs figures while other franchisees are seeing growth of more than 20 percent for the financial year to date.

December trading showed the largest sales performance for the Go Sushi brand which turned over more than $1 million for the month.

Chris Jordinson, chairman of franchisor Pacific Retail Management, said “Considering we are selling sushi rolls from only $2.40 per roll the numbers of customers that visit our stores are increasingly dramatically”.
