Mayfair-backed Yo! Sushi, the iconic Japanese restaurant group, acquired Bento Sushi, North America's second largest sushi brand, for C$100m. Robin Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of YO!, commented: "We've successfully reinvigorated the business over the last two years to ensure the foundations are in place for long term growth. This acquisition takes YO! into the next stage of its development, and creates the first global multi-channel Japanese food purveyor. Bento's proposition and its management team's strong track record make it the ideal partner for YO! as we look to further grow our brand."
