Nippon Inn
Franchise Opportunity
The Nippon inn franchise
Welcome to the Nippon Inn franchise. As owners of the original Nippon Inn, we share in your excitement about your new restaurant. Over the last few years we have been hard at work developing a solid business model that has allowed us to be tremendously successful and profitable! Now, we want to share our superior system with restaurant franchisees just like you, and help you deliver the same consistent quality that customers have come to expect from our business.
Back in 2007 my Japanese wife and I decided to bring a little bit of what we loved from Japan back to England and open an ‘Izakaya’. An Izakaya is a Japanese pub, hence the name Nippon Inn, which serves a variety of dishes designed to share (tapas style) in a relaxed atmosphere. We believe we have successfully created the right authentic atmosphere where customers can come, relax and enjoy traditional Japanese food and drink at reasonable prices. The Nippon Inn quickly became popular in our home town of Bournemouth with locals, students and tourists all now having to book well in advance to get a table.
The popularity of Japanese food, drink and culture is growing and there is a huge opportunity to provide this experience throughout the country. Nippon Inn are now expanding and we have a variety of new franchise opportunities right now in several locations. If you want to join with us as we continue our expansion across the UK, we would like to hear from you.
