Ramen shop taps JLL for U.S. expansion

Chicago – Japanese fast-casual dining chain Jinya Ramen Bar, is using tenant representation from JLL to expand its U.S. brand. Jinya expects to add an additional nine U.S. franchise locations in key cities.



Currently, there are 14 locations throughout Japan, the U.S., Canada and Indonesia, all of which operate under Jinya brands. Senior VP Greg Ferrante and associate Arris Noble are leading the JLL team on this project.



“The expansion of Jinya could not come at a better time,” said Ferrante. “Americans are drawn to unique cultural experiences and Jinya offers an abundance of options in its customizable cuisine.



JLL is currently handling the management, leasing and/or disposition of more than 710 centers, totalling 83 million sq. ft. specializing in regional malls, lifestyle centers, grocery-anchored centers, power centers, central business districts, transportation facilities and mixed-use projects.
