Iridium Partners to Support Sushi Sushi’s New Zealand Expansion

Sushi Sushi, one of Australia’s leading quick-service sushi brands, is accelerating its expansion across New Zealand with the expertise of franchise industry veteran Stan Greene. To support this ambitious growth, Iridium Partners has joined the journey, helping find and connect the right local franchisee partners to bring Sushi Sushi’s premium-quality sushi to communities across Aotearoa.

Since its founding in 1998, Sushi Sushi has transformed sushi from a high-end dining experience into a fresh, healthy, and convenient on-the-go meal. With more than 170 stores across Australia and New Zealand, the brand is now setting its sights on nationwide growth across New Zealand, from Kaitaia to Bluff.

Stan Greene, who spent over 22 years supporting the franchisee growth of Subway in New Zealand, opening over 60 stores in the South Island, has taken on the role of master franchisee for Sushi Sushi. His vision is clear: expand from the existing Botany store in Auckland to a network of 35 Sushi Sushi outlets over the next decade.

“We are incredibly excited to work with Stan Greene as he leads the charge in New Zealand,” said Stephen Anders, CEO of Sushi Sushi. “His extensive experience in franchising and his dedication to operational excellence make him the perfect partner to drive this expansion.”

To fuel this growth, Iridium Partners will play a key role in identifying and connecting local entrepreneurs with franchise opportunities. As a leading franchise recruitment and advisory firm, Iridium Partners specializes in matching ambitious business owners with franchise systems that align with their skills, experience, and local market knowledge.

“We are looking for driven franchise partners who understand their local communities and have a background in retail or hospitality,” says Stan Greene. “Sushi Sushi offers a premium brand, strong operational systems, and multiple store formats—making it an exciting and flexible opportunity for franchisees.”

With Iridium Partners facilitating connections and guiding new franchisees through the process, Sushi Sushi’s footprint in New Zealand is set to expand rapidly. This is a unique opportunity for passionate business owners to join a proven and thriving franchise and bring Sushi Sushi’s fresh, high-quality sushi to more Kiwis than ever before.
