TL;DR
Rock N' Roll Sushi is expanding to Orlando with a new franchise deal, led by local businessman Darrell Lewis. Lewis, who owns a roofing company, is opening a franchise location of the American-style sushi restaurant by November.
Rock N’ Roll Sushi is “running down a dream” of multiplying in Florida and its latest franchise deal in Orlando is proof that the brand “won’t back down,” any time soon.
Combining his love of food – especially Rock N’ Roll Sushi – and his love of operating a business, Orlando businessman Darrell Lewis felt it was time to diversify his business portfolio by opening a franchise location of the beloved, American-style sushi restaurant. He anticipates opening the popular concept by November.
Lewis started working in the restaurant industry as a teenager and always enjoyed serving freshly made food and meeting new people. As he got older, he found himself drawn to the construction industry where he spent five years working laborious days in the hot Florida sun. In 2017, he decided to use his knowledge of the construction business to pursue his own roofing company. Now, just seven years later, Lewis has eight locations and more than 40 employees.
“I’ve been a big sushi fan for as long as I can remember,” said Lewis. “Not only does Rock N’ Roll Sushi have my favorite twist on classic sushi dishes, but we’re able to make these recipes with the best seafood. Being able to own one of these franchises here in my hometown makes me really proud and excited.”
