Poké House Expands California Presence with Three New Franchise Signings

The fast-casual poké brand continues rapid national growth with new franchise locations added to the map.

Lathrop, CA  (RestaurantNews.com)  Poké House, the rapidly expanding fast-casual franchise offering delicious, fresh, and sustainable Hawaiian poké, continues to make its mark across the U.S. with new franchise signings in California.

Kevin and Irene Rosales have signed for a single-unit franchise in Lathrop, while Trinh An Khang Kieu and Thi Van Anh Doan have signed for two units in Carlsbad and Encinitas, bringing the brand’s total to 70 signed locations nationwide.

Since 2023, Poke House has seen exceptional growth. While they are well-established in California, Poke House has recently opened in Georgia earlier this year and have locations in various stages of development in Arizona, Florida, Oregon, and Nevada, each set to open in 2026. This year alone, the brand has opened new locations in Santa Rosa, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, with its Pleasanton location just kicking off its grand opening in October.

“We’ve built an operation that’s simple to manage with a menu that appeals to a variety of diners and the increased trend of healthy eating, making Poké House a great fit for most markets,” said James Deng, CEO of Poké House. “It’s these elements that have continued to fuel growth and place us as one of the fastest growing franchises in the U.S. today.”

Poké House franchise owners receive hands-on training by a dedicated franchise training team at one of the company’s corporate-owned locations, followed by additional on-site instruction once their restaurant opens. Franchisees also benefit from comprehensive support in marketing, vendor relationships, and daily operations, helping them build strong local followings while maintaining brand-wide consistency.

Demand for fresh, customizable, and health-conscious fast-casual dining continues to grow, both in consumer markets and within the franchise landscape – and Poké House’s brand, menu, and franchise support all fit the bill.
