History
Today, Sho Express is a new name for a group of restaurants coming together to form a family of Asian food franchises. Sho Express specializes in sushi and hibachi-style cuisine, but in the comfortable setting of a neighborhood diner. At Sho Express, fast-casual meets takeout meets Asian-inspired favorites. Back in 2014, we opened our doors with a mission to serve up flavorful Japanese food fused with American influences. And we did it in a modern and casual environment where people could stop for a quick bite, linger if they wanted, or drive through to accommodate their busy lifestyle.
Now with 9 locations in 3 states under the Sho Express umbrella, we offer franchise owners a perfected, established concept backed by marked-tested strategies and increasing customer demand. We’re excited to take our Sho on the road with new franchise owners who share our philosophy and vision!

Here are some other suggestions in the same category that you selected :
Robeks Fresh Juices & Smoothies
Harmony the Hummingbird has been the soul of Robeks since 1996 — tireless, vibrant, & always seeking out the best that nature provides. She’s the perfect symbol for a brand that brings flavor, health, and profitability into harmony for every franchise owner. As one of America’s original smoothie and juice franchises, Robeks didn’t follow the wellness movement — it helped start it, introducing millions to acai bowls, raw-pressed juices, and superfood smoothies long before they went mainstream.
