Aloha Poke Co., the nation’s premier fast casual poke restaurant brand, announced its expansion into Maryland.
Mary Grace Barnebey, a first-time franchisee, plans to offer Aloha Poke Co.’s menu of freshly packed sashimi-grade fish and delicious, whole ingredients to customers at her new store in Gaithersburg.
Barnebey brings more than twenty years of experience in business strategy, team management, and customer service to Maryland’s first Aloha Poke Co. location.
With her passion for nutrition and “good mood food”, Barnebey aims to provide world-class service and a memorable fast casual dining experience to the Gaithersburg community and beyond.
Barnebey is also no stranger to poke. “I’ve been eating poke for years. I love the freshness, and it has always been a delicious go-to meal for a casual lunch or dinner.
And Aloha takes it to a new level for customers offering customizable bowls and unique flavors.
But most importantly, the quality of ingredients sets the food apart from other poke experiences.
The design aesthetic matches the vibe of the food, creating a strong emotional connection with the brand,” added Barnebey.
