Conveyor belt sushi restaurant comes to Boulder

I honestly thought conveyor-belt sushi restaurants were only in the movies, but it turns out they’re a real life thing too. They’re just rare in Colorado.

The last of the concept in the Denver-area, Sushi-Rama, just closed. But soon, a popular spot will open its first Colorado location in Boulder.

Kura Sushi has almost 700 restaurants throughout Asia and expanded into the U.S. with an American subsidiary in 2009 that currently boasts 82 locations in 24 states.

The chain’s first Colorado location will open in Boulder this July or August, which will be on the commercial strip between 28th and 30th streets.

Denver and other cities in Colorado can expect Kura Sushi to arrive soon as the company is looking to grow aggressively in the U.S. over the coming years.
