Market & Investments

Before you decide to open a poké franchise, you likely have some questions about the viability of your investment. As the poké market is in its early stages, there are unlimited possibilities for growth for Hawaiian food franchise opportunities. Since each market is unique, you will want to seriously consider the composition of your local market before making a decision. 


If you believe your local market can support a Pokémoto location, then let's talk. Reach out to learn more!


What does the Hawaiian poké market look like?


At the moment, the Hawaiian poké market is relatively small, but it has been seeing significant growth. If you have been interested in opening your very own poké Hawaiin food franchise, now is the ideal time. 


By joining Pokémoto at the ground level, you will be part of the journey toward our goal of becoming the leading poké franchise in the nation.


Are there specific locations Pokémoto would be most successful in?

After you have signed all the necessary franchise documents, we will help you explore possible locations. These will vary based on your local demographic makeup. That said, Hawaiian poké is popular among multiple generations, including millennials and Gen-Z. So if you happen to be near a college setting, or have a vibrant downtown, owning a poké franchise may be the perfect choice for you! The Pokemoto franchise cost is lower than most start-up costs in the industry. Suburban locations also hold promise, as older millennials are now having children, buying houses, and looking out for different restaurants to try.



What kind of investment does this require?


As is true with any franchise, there are some associated requirements and necessary start-up costs. Due to the nature of a Pokémoto business, the entry start-up costs are lower than many other franchises! This means you can own your own Hawaiian food franchise for a significantly lower investment than other options. The poke bar franchise cost is just one reason Pokémoto is an excellent investment. 


We are SBA-approved, giving you numerous funding and financing options. With the potential for growth in the poké market, you would be making a sound investment by joining the Pokémoto organization.
