Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar, the rapidly growing poke brand founded in 2018, is riding a wave of success and will open AT Universal CityWalk Hollywood on March 16, 2024, bringing the healthy quick-serve concept and diverse dining option to a new audience. To celebrate the grand opening, Uncle Sharkii is offering Buy 1, Get 1 at 50% off all day on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
From its humble beginnings, Uncle Sharkii has been making huge waves in the culinary world through collaborations with major players like Hawaiian Airlines and Walmart, cementing its position as an emerging leader in the poke industry. This venture also marks a new chapter and exciting milestone in the evolution of fast-food choices, setting the stage for rapid expansion and innovation in the coming years.
“We are thrilled to bring Uncle Sharkii to Universal CityWalk Hollywood,” said Fen Reyes, Founder and CEO of Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar in a statement. “Our evolution from a young brand to this wonderful opportunity has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you, Universal Studios Hollywood – Uncle Sharkii is going to be BIG! It’s going to be the premier poke destination worldwide.”
Raymond Reyes, Co-Founder and COO of Uncle Sharkii, also expressed his excitement about this new opportunity by saying, “My brother and I always had fond memories going to Universal Studios Hollywood as a kid. My father, a Marine, was always deployed, but when he was home on leave, we would frequent Universal Studios Hollywood. It was great!”
Universal CityWalk’s vibrant atmosphere serves as the ideal backdrop for sharing the brand’s love for poke with locals and theme park guests alike, where they can enjoy healthy and affordable pairings of its Signature Hawaiian Poke Bowls, Boba Milk Teas & Dole Soft Serve. Uncle Sharkii stands firm as one of the only national poke brands to be curated by a local born and raised Co-Founder who grew up eating, breathing, and living all the paradisiacal essence that Hawai’i represents.
