Jeff & Tara Kim
The duo behind &Sushi and OLIVIA
From &Sushi’s bright and beautiful sushi to OLIVIA’s curated
fashion offering, Jeff and Tara Kim have established their
businesses as part of the fabric of Newmarket. Zara Overton
caught up with the pair to find out how they combine their
love of food and fashion and just what attracted them to
Newmarket.

                                                               and how you came to start OLIVIA and &Sushi?
                                                               TARA: I was naturally drawn into the fashion business
                                                               as I grew up in a third generation textile & fashion

                                                               also wanted to infuse Jeff ’s hotel customer service

                                                               and got married quite quickly after that. We’ve been

                                                               well as boutiques. Why did you decide to open on Teed

                                                               JEFF: We enjoyed visiting Teed Street before having
                                                               businesses there, and had always thought about

                                                               but Tara decided to take the opportunity instead as
                                                               we thought Teed Street was known more for being

                                                               that Teed Street was a trendy community which
                                                               embraced creativity and art through fashion and
                                                               food so we opened &Sushi a few stores away from

N. What do you think about the trend of retail
and hospitality collaborating more?
T & J. Fashion and food are essential parts of

our lifestyle. I think fashion and food are
connected in terms of being an outlet for
expressing creativity and art. In that sense,
the collaboration of retail and hospitality
creates a community which in turn, leads to
a very satisfying experience for customers.
We will definitely see more of these
collaborations in the future.
