Here’s what you need to know if you’re interested in opening a Pokeworks franchise.
Pokeworks is a Hawaiian-inspired fast and casual restaurant that opened its first store in midtown Manhattan, New York, in 2015. Pokeworks started franchising in 2016 and partnered with global brand development giant Toridoll Holdings Corporation. It serves Hawaiian poke bowls made with locally or overseas-sourced fish.
From its humble beginnings as a tiny takeout and delivery location in New York, Pokeworks has dramatically expanded its corporate operations with over 40 franchise units and restaurants all over the United States. Today, Pokeworks works with small startup developments and larger restaurant groups in order to continue to try to grow.

What Might Make a Pokeworks Franchise a Good Choice?
One advantage of opening a Pokeworks franchise may be its preference for multiple unit location developments for primary and secondary markets.

Pokeworks also welcomes large, experienced, and well-funded restaurant groups that are well-positioned in their communities.
To be part of the Pokeworks team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. You should also prepare yourself for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's liquid capital requirements.
How To Open a Pokeworks Franchise
