Buy a BIBIBOP Asian Grill Franchise

BIBIBOP Asian Grill is a fast-casual restaurant franchise built around customizable Korean-inspired bowls, salads, and noodle dishes. Founded in 2013 in Columbus, Ohio, the concept adapts bibimbap, the Korean dish of steamed rice mixed with proteins, vegetables, and sauces, for a made-to-order dining format centered on fresh, unprocessed ingredients at everyday price points.

Guests build meals from a choice of bases, proteins including USDA Choice steak, all-natural chicken, and organic tofu, fresh vegetables, and signature sauces. All BIBIBOP locations operate as certified 100% gluten-free facilities, and the menu includes vegetarian and vegan options, giving the brand a wider health-conscious customer base than most fast-casual competitors.

BIBIBOP is owned by GOSH Enterprises, Inc., a Columbus, Ohio-based multi-brand restaurant company that also operates Charleys Cheesesteaks and Lennys Grill and Subs. The brand began franchising in 2017 and has grown from its Ohio home market to a national network of locations across multiple US states, backed by GOSH’s established franchise infrastructure and multi-brand operational experience.

BIBIBOP Asian Grill – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Franchisees complete initial training of 60 hours classroom instruction and 180 hours on-the-job across restaurant operations. GOSH Enterprises supports its brands' training through the Schoox learning management system, which delivers mobile-first operational content, assessments, and performance tracking for managers and team members. Ongoing support covers operations, marketing, and supply chain through GOSH's shared services. Buyers of an existing BIBIBOP unit should confirm what initial training and Schoox access the franchisor provides to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The BIBIBOP model suits owners with food service or restaurant operations experience who are comfortable managing a team of hourly employees, enforcing food quality standards, and building local customer relationships. The business runs on consistent kitchen execution and team performance, making a process-driven, staff-management background valuable. A genuine interest in health-oriented dining fits the brand culture, though prior Korean or Asian cuisine experience is not required. Community presence and a focus on driving repeat visits are practical factors in unit-level performance.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    BIBIBOP Asian Grill was named one of Nation's Restaurant News' five Hot Concepts in 2017, a recognition given annually to emerging restaurant brands showing strong growth potential. The brand holds certified 100% gluten-free status across its restaurant network, a consumer-facing distinction that reinforces its health-focused positioning. BIBIBOP's parent company, GOSH Enterprises, brings the operational credibility of running multiple national restaurant brands. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be considered alongside the specific unit's local reputation, customer reviews, and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US fast-casual segment reached approximately $84 billion in annual sales in 2025 (Technomic), more than doubling from $37 billion in 2015. BIBIBOP sits at the intersection of health-focused fast casual and Asian cuisine, two subsegments that have attracted growing consumer interest as dining preferences shift toward fresher, customizable formats. Korean food has gained wider mainstream exposure across the US in recent years, driven by broader cultural influence and growing restaurant availability. For resale buyers, local market demographics and competition will be more decisive than category-level growth trends.
