The anticipated annual revenues from these three restaurants in 2023 are expected to surpass $6.0 million.
The completion of this transaction is anticipated by the close of 2023. Looking ahead, with the prospect of four new restaurants opening by the first quarter of 2024, YOSH foresees a substantial top-line growth exceeding 80% in annual revenues.
This growth will stem from both acquisitions and the establishment of new ventures, promising a considerable enhancement in financial health and stability in 2024 compared to 2023. The acquisition represents a pivotal element in the company’s overarching long-term strategy, aligning seamlessly with its short-term goal of operating 13 restaurants by the conclusion of 2023.
