Starting with just one restaurant in the late 1990's, Samurai Sam's has grown to over 90 locations nation-wide and has been recognized twice by Entrepreneur Magazine at the #1 Asian Fast Food concept. At Kahala Corp., the franchisor of Samurai Sam's Teriyaki Grill, our belief is that the future of our franchise network is dependent upon the quality of our franchisees. Therefore, we carefully screen prospective franchisees and make sure they meet all the qualifications necessary for running a successful Samurai Sam's Teriyaki Grill restaurant. By maintaining these guidelines we are not only able to provide new franchisees with one-on-one guidance, but it also allows us to sustain a superior level of quality control.

Samurai Sam's Teriyaki Grill skewers the competition with its simplicity: healthy, Japanese-style cuisine prepared chop-chop.

Designed for ultimate flexibility to fit a variety of locations, the Samurai Sam's concept competes strongly in busy regional malls, high traffic neighborhood strip centers, pad sites, train stations and airports.

The franchise fee for your first and second Samurai Sam's franchise traditional locations is $30,000 per location. The franchise fee for the third location, and any after that, is $17,500. Non-traditional locations (limited menu) offer a lower franchise fee. We encourage our franchisees to become multiple-unit owners.

The franchisee is responsible for all of the build-out costs including, but not limited to: architectural renovation of the location, equipment and smallwares, professional fees and travel to training location/facility, inventory, etc. The costs associated with each location will vary.

The franchise royalty fee is 6% of sales per month or $400/week, whichever is greater. The advertising fee is .5 % of sales per month (non-Phoenix metro area stores).)

Samurai Sam's is seeking enthusiastic entrepreneurs to grow with us. Area Development Agreements are being considered for select applicants with multi- unit restaurant operations experience. These agreements are very limited and are subject to a higher level of requirements than single unit Agreements.
