Original, American-style sushi restaurant will expand in The Great Lakes State
Rock N Roll Sushi will be bringing its fresh take on American-Japanese fusion “higher” up the map when the brand debuts its first location in Michigan. This “epic” opening is planned for the second quarter of 2025 and the Dearborn location will set the stage for Rock N Roll Sushi’s unique dining experience, being the first and only in the entire state. With an experienced hospitality franchise owner like Hicham Bazzi, more should be expected to pop up sooner rather than later.
Bazzi, along with his partner Silvia Maruncic, is a successful multi-unit owner of Tropical Smoothie Café franchises. Their extensive experience and proven track record in the Michigan market make them the ideal franchisees to bring Rock N Roll Sushi’s innovative concept to life in Dearborn. This partnership between the brand and the new franchisees holds a special place in CEO Craig LeMieux’s heart. Not only is Michigan LeMieux’s home state but he also developed over 130 Tropical Smoothie Cafés in the state before joining Rock N Roll Sushi.
“I’m ecstatic to bring Rock N Roll Sushi to my home state of Michigan,” said LeMieux, “Having started my career there, I’ve seen firsthand the market’s potential and the community’s appreciation for exciting, new dining experiences. We believe Rock N Roll Sushi will be a perfect fit.”
The Dearborn location will offer a variety of signature sushi rolls, hibachi, and inventive appetizers, all served with a side of rock ‘n’ roll flair. From the moment guests step in, they’ll be immersed in a one-of-a-kind dining experience that combines the best of sushi and rock culture.
The rock ‘n’ roll-themed sushi concept, where guests can order items like “VIP Roll” and “The Punk Rock Roll” currently has 72 locations brandwide.
Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife duo Lance and Gerri Mach Hallmark in Mobile, Alabama, Rock N Roll Sushi is the original American-style sushi restaurant founded on great food, true love and rock ‘n’ roll music. It’s the only theme-restaurant in the world where local and loyal fans can experience the rock they love and the rolls they love with the ones they love. The menu is broken down by Opening Acts, Classics, Green Room, Headliners (with Raw Tracks), Back Stage Hibachi, Kids Rock and After Party, with Rock N’ Roll Sushi’s greatest hits – like Crispy Wontons, Punk Rock Roll, VIP Roll and Hibachi – stealing the show. From humble beginnings in a modest 1000-square-foot space tucked inside the Mobile Mall, Rock N Roll Sushi has rapidly expanded to encompass more than 70 locations across the Southeastern U.S. in just a decade.
