Pokemoto currently has eight locations in the development and construction stages along with multiple LOIs submitted for lease negotiations. The company believes the first locations will open in June/July.
Pokemoto recently announced it has partnered with FranFund. FranFund works directly with VetFran, a strategic initiative of the international franchise association, and offers a discounted pricing structure for veterans.
Michael Roper, CEO of Pokemoto commented “We love bringing new franchisees into our Pokemoto Ohana (family)! This is our first veterans program agreement to come aboard taking advantage of our veteran appreciation program which we just announced last month. We’re glad that we’re able to support our veterans by assisting them on their entrepreneurship journey. The ability to follow a process and leadership qualities introduced by the military make veterans great candidates of the franchising system.”
Roper continued “Flower Mound was named the #4 best place to live in America by Money in 2021 and is known for it’s small town family oriented environment. Residents of Flower Mound and Highland Village enjoy close proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth attractions, jobs, excellent schools and coming soon – Pokemoto, Hawaiian Poke! Pokemoto prides itself on its fresh and “healthier for you” combinations the whole family can enjoy.
We literally have something for everyone on our menu. Our modern dining rooms and bright color scheme provide a Hawaiian vibe where guests can go to enjoy a customized bowl or sip on a refreshing boba tea!”
