Pubbelly Sushi, the iconic brand that redefined the fusion of Japanese and Latin flavors, is officially celebrating its 15th anniversary. Since its debut in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour, it has evolved from a local favorite into a true Miami institution, consistently pushing the boundaries of «cool casual» dining.
Founded by the visionary Chef José Mendín, the brand became famous for its inventive dishes—like the legendary Butter Krab Roll—and its vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. Over the last decade and a half, it has successfully expanded to multiple locations across South Florida, proving that its unique blend of high-quality gastronomy and urban style has massive market appeal.
A Strategic Gem in the GNF Portfolio We are proud to share that Pubbelly Sushi is a premier franchise within our GNF portfolio. Its longevity in the highly competitive Miami market is a testament to its operational strength, brand loyalty, and consistent profitability.
Primed for U.S. Expansion After 15 years of perfecting the art of the «sushi tavern,» Pubbelly Sushi has reached a pivotal milestone. With a proven business model and a cult following, the franchise is now fully prepared to expand across the United States. As we look toward the future, we are seeking to bring this unique dining experience to major metropolitan areas nationwide, offering a turnkey opportunity to be part of a brand that has already conquered one of the toughest food scenes in the world.

We are experts in the development and internationalization of franchises, as well as in mergers and acquisitions of business chains.
