Why did you choose a Sushi Izu franchise over another franchise?

Please share a memorable experience you’ve had during your time as a Sushi Izu franchisee.
One day, out of habit I just said, “Thank you.” to a customer but she told me, “I’m even more grateful for you making such wonderful sushi.” I could feel her sincerity, and I was proud of my product as a Sushi Izu franchisee.
Also, I have witnessed quite a lot of staff from the shopping centre and Woolworths have sushi or hot food for lunch every day and that makes me happy, giving me the energy to run my business better.
