Pokeworks, the world’s leading fast-casual poke brand, is expanding its presence in Orange County as part of a strategic growth initiative. Headquartered in Irvine, the brand is committed to building a strong franchise network in the region, responding to the rising demand for fresh, customizable, and health-focused meals.

Peter Yang, co-founder and Chief Development Officer of Pokeworks, emphasized Orange County’s importance for the brand: “The demographics align closely with our target market, reflecting the national trend toward healthier eating. Despite the rising costs of dining out, we continue to offer exceptional value with our premium sushi-grade poke bowls starting at $15.95.”

With five franchise locations already operating in Southern California, including Laguna Niguel, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Los Angeles, and Brea, Pokeworks has plans to open three additional franchise-owned locations in Orange County. The brand is actively seeking new franchise partners to meet the growing demand for fresh and customizable meals in this vibrant foodie destination.
