In the British television series Dragon's Den, which original Dragon founded Yo! Sushi?
Answer
Simon Woodroffe
Answer
Simon Woodroffe
Simon Woodroffe founded Yo! Sushi and was an original Dragon on the British television series Dragon's Den.
Woodroffe is an English entrepreneur who launched Yo! Sushi, a restaurant business known for serving dishes from a moving conveyor belt. The concept helped make sushi more approachable to a wider British audience and became the best-known venture associated with his Dragon's Den career.
He was part of the original panel when the programme began in 2005. His presence often connected the show with hospitality, design and consumer experience, while other original Dragons brought expertise from retail, property, technology and leisure.
Woodroffe later founded YOTEL, a hotel brand built around compact, efficiently designed rooms. A common error is to attribute Yo! Sushi to another original Dragon, especially Theo Paphitis, who was also strongly associated with retail and consumer businesses.
