Central Florida's Kona Poke will open its fourth location by year's end. The store is located in Melbourne, Florida, at 1675 W. New Haven Ave.

Adjacent to the Melbourne Square Mall, the 1,400-square-foot store will offer the chain's complete menu, including Dole Soft Serve flavors that are dairy- and cholesterol-free, according to a company press release.

"As a proud Brevard County resident, Melbourne is such a beautiful, laid-back, beach-loving, outdoors community — the perfect place to call home to our unmatched, fresh and delicious Pokebowls, Dole Soft Serve and toppings," Co-Owner Ernie Falco III said in a company press release. "We are very excited to open our second location on the Space Coast and continue expanding our award-winning brand across the state."

Falco, along with Matthew Ting, founded Kona Poke in 2019 in Central Florida. In addition to the Florida Space Coast expansion, the chain is seeking more corporate locations in Central Florida.
