Sumo Salad was an Australian salad bar founded in 2003 on Liverpool Street, Sydney, by Luke Baylis and James Miller.
Initially, Baylis and Miller hired friends and family to develop the business, including a trainer and marketer.[1] In its first decade, Sumo Salad grew through franchising to reach 100 stores and expanded internationally with 9 stores in New Zealand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil.[2]
From 2013 to 2015, Sumo Salad partnered with Paleo diet advocate Pete Evans.[3]
In October 2015, co-founder James Miller was found dead by his flatmate, Nasser Elkordi, in their Elizabeth Bay, Sydney home.[4] His death was believed to be caused by an unintentional drug overdose.[5]
