Island Fin Poké Company was founded by Mark Setterington, inspired by the rich culinary traditions and vibrant culture of Hawaii. Since launching in 2017, the brand began franchising in September 2018 and has experienced steady growth throughout the United States.
Celebrated for its fresh and creative poké bowls, Island Fin Poké provides a fully customizable dining experience. Guests can choose from an array of sustainably sourced proteins, over 25 distinctive toppings, and signature house-made sauces.
The company’s headquarters embrace the Hawaiian spirit of ‘Ohana,’ which embodies family and community—a core value reflected in both its customer interactions and franchise support. Every location aims to offer a warm, welcoming environment that stays true to this ethos.
Standing out in the fast-casual segment, Island Fin Poké meets growing consumer demand for healthy, fast, and flavorful meals. Its emphasis on quality ingredients, friendly service, and a strong sense of belonging has made it a top choice for poké lovers nationwide.

Island Fin Poke Company provides a range of training programs designed to equip franchisees with the knowledge and skills needed to operate successfully.
Island Fin Poke Company provides franchisees with a defined territory where no other Island Fin Poke restaurant will be opened during the agreement term, as long as the franchisee is in compliance. This grants some protection for the franchisee’s specific location.
However, the franchisor reserves the right to sell products within the territory through other channels like grocery stores, co-branding, and online sales. The franchisor may also open or authorize restaurants outside but near the franchisee’s territory, limiting full exclusivity.
