TL;DR
Teriyaki Madness has opened its 200th location in San Antonio, Texas, and is celebrating with special offers and giveaways. The new shop is owned by franchisees Daniel Gifford and Gilbert Vergara, who are excited to bring the brand's fresh and healthy food to the Alamo City.
To mark this special occasion, the San Antonio shop (Highway 281) is rolling out the red carpet with loads of opening-day antics fans have come to expect, plus a few celebratory twists and MAD Rewards:
$6 Chicken Teriyaki Bowls on Dec. 19 and 20. One word: YUM.
The first five fans in line to make a purchase score free Teriyaki Madness for a year*. Yes, you should be crying tears of joy, it’s AN ENTIRE YEAR.
The next 20 fans in line receive free Teriyaki Madness for a month*. Enough bowls to make friends jealous and chopsticks tired.
Exclusive limited-edition 200th-shop t-shirts & stickers (while supplies last). Side effects may include fulfillment and bliss.
The Coveted Golden Fork-Chop Giveaway: Gift envelopes given to customers No. 26–100 on the morning of opening day. One envelope hides the Golden Fork-Chop — winner gets a swag pack (shirt, stickers, sumos) and a $200 gift card. Everyone else gets bounceback coupons, stickers and a supportive pat on the back.
“Two hundred shops is no small feat, and it’s a testament to how much demand there is for fresh and healthy ingredients, generous portions, gluten-free sauces and the kind of energy our shops bring to a neighborhood,” said Jodi Boyce, chief marketing officer of Teriyaki Madness.
Franchise owners Daniel Gifford and Gilbert Vergara have seen firsthand how San Antonio responds to the Madness, and they’re ready to bring even more of it to the Alamo City.
“San Antonio knows good food and good people, which is exactly why Teriyaki Madness has been so loved here,” said Gifford, franchise owner. “Running a TMAD shop isn’t just about serving bowls; it’s about tapping into a brand that knows how to get attention. Opening the 200th location in my own backyard makes the glaze even sweeter — and we’re ready to kick off the celebration with a whole lot of protein-packed teriyaki.”
Along with the opening-day hype, guests can also enjoy TMAD’s delicious, customizable bowls made with marinated chicken, steak, salmon or tofu, plus veggies, noodles or rice and signature gluten-free sauces. Fans can also take advantage of mobile ordering, catering options and the MAD Rewards app, where earning free bowls is practically a competitive sport.
