Danish-Japanese premium restaurant group Sticks’n’Sushi has secured its debut Scottish site.
The opening in Glasgow will take the brand’s total portfolio to 31 restaurants in Denmark, UK and Germany, with further sites planned nationwide early next year. Located in George Square, the new restaurant, which will open in November, will include a 177-cover dining room and bar.
The menu will feature Sticks’n’Sushi’s signature blend of sharing dishes, sticks, sushi and sashimi, offered à la carte or as curated set menus.
Group chief executive Andreas Karlsson said: “We are delighted to be bringing Sticks’n’Sushi to Scotland – and what better place for us to begin our northern adventure than Glasgow? As we continue to look to grow both in the UK and cross Europe, we look forward to welcoming the local community, both as guests and new members of our team.
Being able to grow and create jobs is a huge privilege and plays a large part of our current strategy, with several exciting developments in the pipeline, both nationwide and internationally.”
Originating in Copenhagen, Sticks’n’Sushi is one of Denmark’s longest established restaurant groups. In April, Fernando Alonso, the two-time F1 world drivers’ champion, acquired a stake in Sticks’n’Sushi.
Alonso co-invested alongside McWin Food Ecosystem Fund as a long-term investor in the business, which was founded in 1994 by Thor Andersen, Kim Rahbek Hansen and Jens Rahbek Hansen.
