Pacific Retail’s Wasabi Warrior brand will be expanding internationally next year with an outlet opening in Dubai and at home the chain will continue to grow across the metro areas of Sydney and Perth.

There are plans for further expansion in sibling brands in the Pacific Retail umbrella group which expects to grow its franchise network from its currrent 36 outlets to 55 stores.

Go Sushi and Kick! Juice are set for store development in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia.

In 2013 the group brought on seven new franchisees, matched by seven additional support office team members including consultant Warren Billet, a former manager at Retail Food Group.
