## Story

The Island Fin Poké Co. brand is built on offering a sensory experience to guests through fresh food with traditional island flavors, amazing guest service and a welcoming, family-like atmosphere and vibe. All these interactions combined make the brand so inviting, much like the Hawaiian lifestyle.

Island Fin Poké Co. offers fresh and healthy customized poké bowls, during every visit, each experience is personalized, from the moment guests walk through the doors until the moment they leave because that's the Ohana Way, or the family way.

Island Fin came up with the solution to the poké predicament: giving out free two-ounce samples to inspire more guests who want to try poké, consisting of four of Island Fin’s most popular options. Each protein is paired with the best combination of mix-ins, toppings, and sauces, breaking the raw fish stigma, one bowl at a time.

Island Fin Poké Co. is also a game changer that gives back to its community and makes an impact by hosting food donation opportunities. During the devastating Hurricane Ian in Florida, Island Fin Poké Co. collected canned foods and non-perishables to donate to surrounding food pantries. The brand also looks for different ways to support its community and collects and donates to local food banks twice a year at its locations.
