The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Chicago, Aloha Poke Co. has been franchising since 2019 and specializes in…you guessed it, poke bowls. 

This brand positions itself in the feel-good, wholesome food niche, serving up customizable bowls with fresh ingredients, appealing to the health-conscious crowd that’s looking for more than your typical fast-food experience.

Financially, Aloha Poke Co. offers a reasonable setup: there’s a $35,000 franchise fee, a 5% royalty, and a 1% brand fund fee. For those looking to break into the $42 billion natural health food industry, this is a low-barrier entry compared to some of the heavier franchise investments out there.
