LemonShark Poké Takes A Chomp Of The Big Apple

Rapidly Growing Poké Franchise Opens Its First Store in New York City

October 30, 2018 // Franchising.com // BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - LemonShark Poké is expanding its national presence with its first New York City restaurant. The “fine-casual” premium poké concept is known for serving top-quality locally sourced ingredients will open its doors on October 29.

Prior to opening LemonShark Poké, franchisee John Salmons was a professional basketball player for more than a decade in the National Basketball Association. Salmons played for a variety of NBA teams including the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors, and New Orleans Pelicans. After his time in the NBA he met Noel Shu, who is also an investor in the new Midtown location of LemonShark Poké.

Both Salmons and serial entrepreneur Shu were interested in expanding their business portfolios and discovered that poké had great potential. Upon learning about LemonShark Poké, Shu and Salmons knew the concept would fill a void within the New York City area, and they were immediately hooked by its top-notch service, modern style, and corporate support team, especially one that treated their franchisees as partners.

Named after the Lemon Shark who only consumed the very best fish possible, LemonShark Poké prides itself on serving the finest quality ingredients to its guests. In addition to traditional poké offerings, the menu includes shareable appetizers such as tempura shrimp and egg rolls, and its signature Hawaii Katsu menu that features cooked-to-order, delectable entrées including chicken, Alaskan cod and more. In addition, LemonShark Poké’s new location provides New York City locals and tourists alike with an elevated dining experience – featuring Japanese-inspired upscale, chic décor and seats more than 10 people.

“Opening our first Manhattan location is a significant milestone for LemonShark Poké and marks a new chapter in our growth on the eastern seaboard,” said Tobi Miller, CEO and co-founder of LemonShark Poké. “We know this location will be a tremendous success and look forward to becoming a fixture throughout the concrete jungle!”
