A national poke franchise is headed to Colorado. Four new Pokeworks locations are planned for the Denver Metro area, and the first is set to open at a yet-to-be-determined site in Greenwood Village sometime this summer.
Entrepreneurs Thi Tran, Tich Nguyen, and Liyang Chung will develop the four franchise locations, according to a press release. “As we evaluated our goals and researched different restaurant concepts, we were instantly drawn to Pokeworks’ reputation for serving the highest quality poke,” said Chung.
“Upon meeting the executive team, we were blown away by the exceptional culture and greatly appreciate the support that they have shown us as new franchise partners,” Chung said. “We’re very much looking forward to launching into restaurant ownership and expanding the Pokeworks brand in our home state of Colorado.”
The Pokeworks menu includes traditional poke bowls, burritos, salads, and sides, with gluten-free and vegan options available.
The brand serves sashimi grade sustainable fish, proteins, freshly cut veggies, and hand-crafted sauces. Pokeworks was founded in 2015 and now has nearly 70 locations with 85 more planned nationwide by the end of 2022.
