The sit-down sushi restaurant inside the Walmart Supercenter on South\u00a0Pleasant Crossing Boulevard in Rogers, Arkansas, aims to elevate the customer experience to\u00a0provide not only fresh, hand-rolled sushi, hot appetizers and more, but also\u00a0a new way to enjoy them. The 2,000-square-foot space will employ 20 employees, including highly trained local sushi chefs using premium, responsibly\u00a0sourced ingredients.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As well as traditional favorites like California rolls and Krispy\u00a0Krab, along with Spicy Red Pepper and Crunchy Shrimp rolls for the more daring\u00a0palates; a range of hot appetizers, including Asian chicken wings, Boom Boom Shrimp, Dim Sum; and craft beer and wines on tap, the concept offers a Healthy Morning Collection, including avocado toast, acai bowls and real-fruit smoothies.<\/span><\/p>

As with its first location, Hissho Sushi is working with a local Rogers brewery, Bike Rack Brewing\u00a0Co., to feature its beer at the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHissho wants to provide our partners with the most creative, craveable\u00a0products and concepts possible so our relationship and sales can continue to\u00a0grow,\u201d added Beem. \u201cWe\u2019re excited for the opportunity to reach new\u00a0audiences with this concept and continue to share our passion for sushi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
