Just Poké’s Tremendous Growth in the Pacific Northwest Driven by Franchise Success
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 14, 2023 -- Just Poké, a healthy local poké chain in the Pacific Northwest, with restaurants throughout western Washington, has a fast-casual formula that’s attracting franchise opportunities and customer love at an equal pace. This summer, Just Poke announced the opening of four new locations, bringing its total number in the region to 27, with plans to open 8 more this year. The newest additions include Downtown Seattle, Mercer Island, Sammamish and West Seattle. Upcoming openings are slated for Covington, Northgate, Richmond BC, Lynnwood, Snohomish, and Microsoft’s Campus in Redmond, – all in the greater Seattle area.
“We knew we had a winning concept when we came up with the idea, based on our love of delicious, healthy, and sustainably made poke bowls,” said Co-Founder of Just Poké, Norman Wu. “It’s thrilling to receive continued positive feedback from our community and interest from franchisees who share our belief in doing what’s right for people and the planet. It’s so rewarding to be a force of business for good in our home state.”
Just Poke is backed by Conscious Hospitality Group (CHG), a growth equity investor that provides incubation, capital, and connections to grow purpose-driven concepts. Just Poké, with the motto of, “Eat Clean. Act Right. Live Well,” is known for its delicious, fresh and sustainable poké bowls, and its reputation of putting people first, from vendors and partners to employees and customers, alongside its commitment to sourcing sustainable seafood and using sustainable supplies.
The first Just Poké location opened in 2016, and the company began franchising in 2020. By the close of 2023, the brand will have 35 locations across Western Washington, including its launches in T-Mobile Park and Climate Pledge Arena. Just Poké’s rice or salad-based poké bowls are made on demand, enabling customers to mix their creations from over eight proteins, 20+ fresh toppings, and in-house developed signature sauces.

In constructing its stores, recycled materials, energy-efficient lighting and low-VOC paint are used.
