“Chicago’s North Shore communities, including Deerfield, are consistently named among the best places to live in Illinois,” said Chris Birkinshaw, CEO of Aloha Poke Co. “Our customers have been asking for us to expand to this area for years. Based on the existing demand for delicious and healthy fast causal concepts, and this terrific location, it’s the perfect opportunity to bring Aloha Poke Co. to Deerfield.”
In 2020, Aloha Poke Co. announced the development of 11 Houston, TX franchise locations. With their Cypress store, first-time franchisees Amanda and Cory Tabb opened the market in 2021. Baryalay Razi, a multi-brand, multi-unit professional franchisee, will add another 10 stores, with his Richmond, TX location also opening this month.
