In which geographic areas is Benihana offering franchises?

s

We are offering franchises in the fifty United States and in Washington, D.C. (and elsewhere in the Territory) for operating BENIHANA Restaurants, either full-size restaurants under the Restaurant Model or limited-menu locations under the Concession Model, that specialize in the hibachi or teppanyaki style of Japanese cooking, and in which, under the Restaurant Model, food is prepared on a grill that forms a part of the table on which it is served ("BENIHANA Restaurants"). BENIHANA Restaurants offer casual dining in a distinctive Japanese atmosphere enhanced under the Restaurant Model by unique entertainment provided by highly-skilled chefs that prepare fresh steak, chicken, and seafood at the center of the guest table. BENIHANA Restaurants operate under the mark BENIHANA and use other trademarks, trade names, logos, emblems, and indicia of origin as we designate, including those identified in Item 13 (the "Marks" or "Proprietary Marks").
