Mansfield is about to get a new place to crank up the volume on dinner. Rock N’ Roll Sushi is headed to town this summer, with franchisees planning to open in the Shops at Mansfield Towne Square in a roughly 2,120‑square‑foot storefront. Local partners Brian Paul and Anthony Krall are leading the build‑out and say they are targeting a mid‑July debut.
Co‑franchisee Brian Paul confirmed the timeline and told What Now Dallas the concept "has a southern vibe" that leans on ingredients diners might not see on the West Coast. Paul said the menu is designed to be approachable for first‑time sushi diners, and the pair is already signed on to open three locations in the region.
State paperwork backs up the build‑out
Public records from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show a registered project at 2301 E Broad Street, Suite 201, listing a 2,120‑square‑foot tenant build‑out. The record names ZKB Investments, LLC as the tenant and marks the project as registered, describing a first‑time restaurant fit‑out that tracks with the franchisees' plans for the space.
Bringing the brand back to DFW
Brian Paul and Anthony Krall signed an area development agreement to open multiple Rock N’ Roll Sushi locations across the Dallas‑Fort Worth market, according to a franchisor release covered by RestaurantNewsRelease. In that release, Paul is quoted as saying that reintroducing the brand to DFW is "pretty much necessary" for fans in the region.
What’s on deck when doors open
Rock N’ Roll Sushi launched in Mobile, Alabama, in 2010 and bills itself as an American‑style sushi experience that pairs big, bold rolls with rock music, according to the brand's website. Diners can expect an approachable lineup of fried and non‑raw rolls, a lively soundtrack, and a casual, mainstream atmosphere geared toward people who want something less formal than fine‑dining sushi.
If the timeline holds, Mansfield diners could see the new spot open in mid‑July, according to Paul and local reporting. Hoodline will keep an eye on permits, health inspections, and official announcements as the build‑out moves toward completion.
