Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, the conveyor-belt sushi chain, is opening a restaurant on SW Archer Road in Gainesville.

The company’s Gainesville location page lists the restaurant as “Coming Soon!” at 3830 SW Archer Road, Suite 20. It gives no opening date or hours yet.

The state has started licensing the restaurant. On Thursday, Nov. 5, the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco recorded a temporary 2COP license for Kura Revolving Sushi Bar at that address. The licensee is Kura Sushi USA Inc., according to the division’s public records. A 2COP license allows beer and wine to be served on the premises.
