As quick-service restaurants grow in popularity, Island Fin Poké Co. is taking their poké concept to the next level. The Florida-based fast-casual restaurant, known for its fresh ingredients and bold flavors, is set to elevate the poké experience with the grand opening of its 25th location in Nokomis, Venice, FL on December 11. What makes this new venture even more exciting is the introduction of Island Fin Poké Co.’s first-ever poké pickup window, exclusively for pickup orders placed online or in the app.
Located at 997 N Tamiami Trail, Nokomis, Florida 34275, this location marks a significant milestone for Island Fin Poké Co., offering guests the convenience of a pickup window for seamless online, in-app and third-party app ordering options. Through this pickup window, guests can quickly pick up their poké orders without having to get out of their cars if they are in a rush for their poké meal. This innovative addition aligns with the brand’s dedication to innovating and providing exceptional service while emphasizing convenience and efficiency, without compromising the quality that defines the Island Fin Poké Co. experience.
“Our new location in Venice will still have the same comforting vibe, like you are eating a meal at home with your Ohana, as all our other locations,” says Mark Setterington, CEO and founder of Island Fin Poké Co. “However, with our first-ever poké pickup window location, we are going to be able to streamline our efficiency as a brand. We’re continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the fast-casual environment.”
From curated music to only using the freshest ingredients, every Island Fin Poké Co. location offers a six sensory experience. That means each time a guest experiences a poké bowl at Island Fin, they are experiencing the IncrediBOWL, which is personally crafted to the guest’s liking. The brand offers chicken, tofu and spam protein options, aside from the traditional fish options of the freshest boat-to-bowl tuna, salmon, shrimp and octopus. In addition to their fresh protein options, Island Fin also offers a wide variety of delicious seasonal Dole Soft Serve® flavors – having something for everyone.
“Venice, Florida is the perfect location debut for our first poké pickup window,” says Setterington. “The poké pickup window concept is just one of many examples of our commitment to innovation, much like the VR training we incorporated earlier this year. We want to ensure our Ohana can enjoy their favorite bowls with the same quality and speed they expect from us in-store and now in our pickup window. It’s the perfect grab-and-go for our new community if they are not able to dine in with us.”
The Venice location will be open every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. including the pickup window, offering a convenient dining option for in-store, takeout and online ordering through the Island Fin Poké Co. website or app.
