NEWARK, NJ — The madness has come to Newark… teriyaki madness, that is.

On Tuesday, Sept. 17, Newark resident Yash Jagad will hold a grand opening event for the first Teriyaki Madness in New Jersey. The new shop is located at 137 Halsey Street, just two blocks away from Rutgers University. The grand opening will kick off at 11 a.m. The first five customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a year, while the next 20 customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a month, according to a news release.

"But I'm especially excited to bring the brand to my community because Newark and Teriyaki Madness share a similar confidence as a city and brand both on the rise."

"We are ecstatic to be opening up our first New Jersey shop in Newark," said Teriyaki Madness CEO Michael Haith. "The Newark team is a wonderful addition to our franchise family and we are so excited to watch and support them as they champion TMAD's entry into New Jersey as we continue to expand throughout the state."
