Jonesboro, AR — (Contributed) — June 5, 2025 — Rock N’ Roll Sushi is turning up the flavor with its 75th location, which is opening Monday.

Owned and operated by local entrepreneurs, Cody McPherson and Aaron Duty, the new restaurant will serve up the brand’s Sushi Amplified experience with bold menu favorites, exclusive dishes and a rock-inspired atmosphere.

McPherson and Duty, both native to northeast Arkansas, are no strangers to building successful dining destinations. Between the two of them, they own three Crumbl Cookies locations that they opened between 2022 and 2024.

They also have experience with other franchise brands, including Potbelly and Fox’s Pizza. With a strong track record in franchise ownership and a passion for bold concepts, they’re now turning up the volume with Rock N’ Roll Sushi.

“We’re proud to bring something totally unique to the Jonesboro food scene,” Duty said. “Rock N’ Roll Sushi is all about fresh ingredients, creative rolls and an atmosphere that feels like a backstage pass to your favorite show.”

The unit in Jonesboro will be the first of three Rock N’ Roll Sushi concepts planned for the area. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, McPherson qualified for a special veterans deal that waived franchise fees. He and Duty signed the agreement on Veterans Day, making Rock N’ Roll Sushi’s commitment to supporting veterans all the more meaningful.

“Serving this community has always mattered to me, first in uniform, and now as a business owner,” said McPherson. “We’re excited to build something here that not only stands out but brings people together.”

This Rock N’ Roll Sushi also offers authentic ramen, a savory, slurp-worthy cuisine that has been tantalizing taste buds in Japan since the late 19th century. Fans can order Tokyo Shoyu, Creamy, Spicy, or Black Tonkotsu Ramen with barbeque pork belly. The new location also features counter service, dine-in seating and to-go options for sushi lovers on the move.

The restaurant will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. It’s located at 2411 Race St., Suite A.
