The openings also make Pokemoto the largest Hawaiian Poke chain in the Connecticut market to date.

“We also have five additional franchise locations coming soon to the Connecticut market – 18 locations in total when looking at coming soon and open locations combined.

“Our development, operations and marketing teams work one-on-one with our franchise partners to guide them through the Pokemoto sales cycle all the way through opening and beyond.”
