Osio Culinary Group sold Central Bistro, which originally opened in 2012, to Bistro Partners a restaurant group featuring partners James Shough, Mark Drinkwater, Brian Raab and Matt Carter.
The sale of the restaurant, located at 3160 East Camelback Rd., was completed on January 21 and the restaurant has been under Bistro Partners’ ownership since that date.
“When we were unexpectedly approached with the idea of selling Central Bistro, we recognized that a sale would allow us to sharpen our focus on aggressively expanding SumoMaya at a national level,” said Osio Culinary Group Founder and CEO German Osio. “Thus, while it is hard to part with such a wonderful and successful concept, we are glad for the opportunity to continue fulfilling the company’s plan of growth and expansion.”
“We are extremely proud of the brand we created with Central Bistro. The quality of the menu and food, the service offered, and the atmosphere created have been top-notch from the very beginning. We have many hard-working team members to thank for this,” he added.
