About Yoshinoya
Historic Japanese Beef Bowl Chain Seeking Prime Drive-Thru Sites for Western Expansion Yoshinoya, the oldest and largest chain of beef bowl restaurants in the world, is aggressively pursuing a National Expansion strategy focused on the Western United States. With a heritage dating back to 1899 and over 2,000 locations globally, the brand is modernizing its footprint with a new "Transformation" strategy led by CEO Jon Gilliam. Yoshinoya is actively seeking Anchor Tenant positions and high-visibility endcaps with drive-thru capabilities in high-traffic corridors. Ideal sites feature strong daytime demographics and dense residential populations, supporting the brand's dual focus on lunch speed and dinner convenience. Landlords and Tenant Representation brokers should pitch pad sites and endcaps that can accommodate their efficient 1,400–2,200 SF prototype, particularly in California and neighboring markets.
