Aloha Poke Co. opened its third Wisconsin location this week in the Mequon Public Market, a multi-vendor market in Mequon. Aloha Wisconsin operates all three of the states' locations. The first opened in 2018 in downtown Milwaukee, and the second unit opened in Wauwatosa during the height of COVID-19 in 2020.

"We feel like we are on the right side of the food trend, which is toward fresh, healthy alternatives that taste great," said Tom Wang, co-owner of Aloha Wisconsin JV LLC. "This past year has been a difficult one for restaurants, but we've been able to expand in Wisconsin because of our belief in the product and our amazing partnership with Aloha Poke Co. We look forward to many more opportunities for growth."

Based in Chicago, Aloha Poke has 15 locations in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida and Washington, D.C., and is seeking franchisees to help it expand.
