TL;DR
Teriyaki Madness is opening a new location in Fresno, offering free food rewards to the first fans in line on grand opening day. The Fresno shop is owned and operated by Shogy Ahmed, who also owns the Visalia location.
This isn’t just an opening. It’s a teriyaki takeover.
Guests lining up on grand opening day will score some seriously MAD Rewards:
The first five fans in line to make a purchase score free Teriyaki Madness for a year*. FOR A WHOLE DARN YEAR.
The next 20 fans in line receive free Teriyaki Madness for a month*. For anyone who thought Black Friday was intense, wait until they see Fresno on Dec. 19.
Plus, three days of $6 Chicken Teriyaki Bowls from Friday, Dec. 19 through Sunday, Dec. 21. The perfect chance for guests to dive face-first into massive bowls stacked with fresh marinated chicken, premium proteins, crisp chopped veggies and addictive, gluten-free sauces with ingredients that just can’t be faked. The Fresno shop is owned and operated by Shogy Ahmed, who also owns the Visalia location that opened earlier this year. With shop number two on deck, Shogy is bringing even more Madness to the Central Valley and laying the groundwork for a teriyaki empire.
“Fresno deserved something different, something that doesn’t cut corners,” said Shogy Ahmed, franchise owner of Teriyaki Madness El Paseo. “We can’t wait to welcome guests into our shop. Everything we serve here is built on real ingredients, all cooked to order with undeniably high-quality sauces. You can taste the difference, and honestly, once people see the portion sizes, they’ll realize it’s game over for boring meals.”
“Fresno’s about to experience teriyaki the way it was meant to be,” said Jodi Boyce, chief marketing officer of Teriyaki Madness. “We’re not just serving bowls – we’re serving mood-lifting, sauce-drenched scrumptiousness that people can build exactly the way they want. Our shops are built for families, neighbors and anyone who believes meals should be memorable, a little messy and absolutely worth craving again the next day.”
Along with off-the-chain opening-day revelry, fans can take advantage of Teriyaki Madness’ Mad Dash curbside pickup program, catering options and the MAD Rewards app, which makes earning free bowls almost as madly addictive as the teriyaki itself.
Teriyaki Madness Fresno will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
