A new chain of restaurants may soon be coming to your local Walmart store.
Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar and Walmart are teaming up to open fast-food style poke bars across the country, according to a release from Sharkii. Poke is a Hawaiian dish that refers to slices or cubes of raw fish served atop rice, dressing, vegetables and seasonings.
“My dream has been to bring the essence of the Sharkii Ohana to millions of families who shop at Walmart,” said Fen Reyes, Founder and CEO of Uncle Sharkii. “This is a monumental step in a major push to achieve Uncle Sharkii’s mission to bring ‘Affordable Poke Bowls to the Masses’.
The expansion will begin with 10 new locations throughout California over the next five months before additional locations are opened nationwide.
The in-store restaurant menu has not been released but the release noted it will be “designed specifically for Walmart customers.” Currently, Sharkii’s offers Poke Bowls with ahi-tuna, salmon, shrimp, spicy scallops and tofu, Boba Milk Teas and tropical-flavored desserts.
Uncle Sharkii currently has locations in California, Hawaii, Texas and Utah with restaurants in Arizona and Nevada set to open soon.
