Pokeatery to celebrate Austin opening

February 8, 2018

Pokeatery, a Northern California-based concept known for its build-your-own pokeboxes, signature pokecado toast, and Dole Whip floats, is hosting a grand opening Sunday for its Austin location. The pokeshop, located at 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd. #1410, in Austin's Mueller neighborhood, has already gained a fan following since first opening doors in December, according to a company press release.

The festivities will include:

• Free pokebox to the first 100 people in line.
• Buy one, get one free pokeboxes to the second 100 people in line.
• The opportunity to win a flat-screen TV for everyone who stops by that day.

"The positive reception that we've received over the last few weeks has been greater than we could have ever anticipated,” Joann Chung, founder and co-owner of Pokeatery, said in the release. "We're excited to finally celebrate the Grand Opening of our first Texas store with the Austin community."
 
Pokeatery was founded by Chung and her husband, Derek. After managing family owned sushi restaurants for over 20 years, they decided to bring Hawaiian poke to the mainland. The chain now has four units.
