LEADER IN RAPIDLY GROWING CATEGORY

As the popularity of Poke increases, so does the demand from consumers. According to a recent study, poke demand will double by 2026, growing 13.1% per year for the next 5 years. As both the largest and fastest growing brand in the category, Pokeworks franchisees should experience a disproportionate share of this growth.

 

Pokeworks is the market leader 

 

Competition in the casual, quick-service poke industry is highly fragmented with mostly small operators, tiny chains, and numerous small, local, copycat players. Chain competition is relatively slim with regional or national brands.

 

As the market leader, Pokeworks is cutting through the competitive noise by delivering proven and consistent value to guests and attracting new customers through accelerated new market expansion by partnering with sophisticated and growth-oriented franchise investors.  The relatively weak and fragmented local competition allows Pokeworks franchisees to penetrate new markets easier and more rapidly than many other franchise brands.
