"It’s a new player in the rise of conveyor-belt sushi, with Kura Sushi, a behemoth brand having opened in Jersey City, Fort Lee, and this week, on Long Island (and, soon, Flushing) — with over 40 U.S. locations and 14 in progress. Kura Sushi first opened in 1977 and has 500 locations across Japan, Taiwan, and the States." - Melissa McCart
