Kura Sushi Inc., the conveyor-belt sushi chain, says it plans to accelerate its growth in the United States as competitors expand. The company targets a steady pace of about 20% growth in store numbers each year. Executives say the objective is to build market share ahead of a broader wave of rival restaurant openings. In the longer term, Kura Sushi’s U.S. operations include a goal of reaching around 300 locations in the U.S. The strategy reflects a focus on expanding physical footprint rather than changing its core format, with growth plans tied directly to the number of new restaurants added annually. While the company frames the effort as a way to defend its position against faster-moving competitors, the specific rivals and timing of their expansions are not detailed in the available reporting. Overall, the announcements outline a clear expansion target and a consistent annual growth rate for the U.S. market.
