San Antonio Becomes Home to Teriyaki Madness Shop 200, and the Hype Is Real

TL;DR

Teriyaki Madness has opened its 200th shop in San Antonio, marking a milestone moment in the company's fast-growing, franchise-friendly momentum. The shop's opening is being celebrated with various promotions and giveaways, including free Teriyaki Madness for a year for the first five fans in line.

This won’t be like any other opening; it’s shop No. 200, a milestone moment that underscores TMAD’s fast-growing, franchise-friendly momentum and a bowl-slinging teriyaki takeover across the U.S and globally.

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. “This opening represents more than just another pin on the map. It shows how franchisees across the country are tapping into an opportunity with real momentum. If you’ve ever seen one of our grand openings, you know we never do anything halfway. This will be pure madness in its highest form.”

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 business with serious growth potential and 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.
