Meet the CEO
Rosanne Giguère leads À la Bouffe, a restaurant group with more than 80 locations, and is the driving force behind Sushi Taxi’s growth and expansion across North America.
Originally trained as a lawyer, she chose to build businesses rather than plead cases. Under her leadership, the Sushi Taxi network has been restructured, repositioned, and placed on a strong path of expansion. Fueled by her experience as multi-unit franchisee operator at Subway and her vision as Sushi Taxi franchisor, the model she believes in is built around one simple conviction: a well-structured franchise is one of the most powerful entrepreneurial vehicles that exists, provided the franchisor is truly capable of delivering on that promise.
That is precisely the commitment she makes to every Master Franchisee and franchisee who joins the network.
