“We’ve had the Florida market on our radar since acquiring the brand in May, 2021 and now our plans to enter the market are coming to fruition. Our fresh, delectable Hawaiian poke cuisine just makes sense for the Florida landscape. We now have three franchise agreements for southwest Florida in the pipeline and three corporate locations in the construction phase in the Miami and Jacksonville markets. The three newly signed franchise agreements and new corporate locations will bring our total store count to 52, quadrupling our footprint.  We are proud of this growth from the Pokemoto brand considering we purchased the company with 13 locations eight months ago. We also inked the Muscle Maker Grill 40-unit restaurant development deal in Saudi Arabia in the same timeframe” said Mike Roper, CEO of Muscle Maker, Inc. “We’ve recently ramped up our internal franchising infrastructure to support our growth strategy and our real estate team has been assigned the task to continue to identify potential corporate locations in key markets to keep the momentum going.”
