Following tremendous growth, Just Poké's Catch expands with the opening of its second and third locations in Spokane Valley + Sunnyside this month
SPOKANE, Wash., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Just Poké, the Pacific Northwest's award-winning leader in delicious, healthy, and sustainable poké, is expanding Catch by Just Poké, with two new locations opening this June in Eastern Washington. Catch by Just Poké is launching in partnership with Walmart to bring healthy, affordable poké to more communities, with nine locations across Washington set to open in 2025. This expansion marks a major milestone for the franchised Just Poké brand, broadening its reach and making its Hawaiian-inspired cuisine more accessible than ever.
Following the first opening as part of this partnership in the Bellingham Walmart earlier this year, the concept continues its rollout with two more openings this month: the Spokane Valley Walmart (15727 E Broadway Ave) on Saturday June 7, and the Sunnyside Walmart (2675 E Lincoln Ave) on Friday June 20. These will mark the second and third locations, with more on the way as the brand continues its mission to deliver fresh, sustainably sourced poké to neighborhoods across the state.

CATCH by Just Poké serves flavorful, affordable meals rooted in the spirit of island comfort food. The menu offers cooked options like teriyaki chicken or smoked kalua pork served in Hawaiian plate lunch-style bowls, as well as fresh poké bowls made with sustainably sourced salmon and ahi. With entrees for everyone and options that accommodate a variety of dietary preferences, CATCH by Just Poké delivers a satisfying and approachable taste of Hawaii. Guests can also enjoy warm grab-and-go spam musubi - a crowd-favorite Hawaiian snack available in five flavorful variations - alongside frozen treats like smoothies, acai bowls, and the classic Dole Whip for a sweet, refreshing finish.
"We're thrilled to grow our fanbase through this strategic partnership with Walmart. It enables us to meet the growing demand for our offerings while introducing poké and Hawaiian-inspired food to a wider audience, including those trying it for the first time," said Norman Wu, Co-Founder of Conscious Hospitality Group. "We chose to make these locations Catch by Just Poké to differentiate with a smaller menu that can be customized to the specific location and customer demographic."
This year, Just Poké expanded its presence across Washington State and into British Columbia, Canada, through franchise growth and launched its new catering service and menu. It was named "One of America's Hottest Fast Casual Startups" by QSR Magazine, and a Fast Casual "2024 Top 100 Movers & Shakers," ranking #11 on the list of top 75 brands.
Sustainability and healthy eating are core tenets of both brands. Just Poké's and Catch by Just Poké's tuna is line-caught by hand from the Pacific Ocean and is rated #1 USA Sashimi Grade, exceeding USFDA standards. Its salmon is purchased from Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified producers with traceability from boat or farm to delivery. Just Poké is also certified as an Ocean Friendly Restaurant by the Surfrider Foundation, pledging to use less plastic and take other steps to help protect our ocean, waves, and beaches.
Catch by Just Poké capitalizes on the brand recognition and popularity of the Just Poké brand in a format that is approachable to new demographics and suits smaller retail footprints. Its curated menu and variety offer something for everyone. Catch by Just Poké was named an MVP by The Seattle Times for its offerings at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners.
A single franchise partner will operate all nine locations, showcasing Just Poké's commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and local business growth.
"We are excited to debut the Catch by Just Poké, aligning our shared vision to offer a healthy, delicious, and sustainable food option in several Washington communities", said John Nguyen, the franchise managing partner. "We look forward to bringing our deep operational expertise and experience from many years of operating successful QSRs in the Pacific Northwest to support the Catch by Just Poké team in accelerating the growth of the brand".
"This partnership fortifies our vision and values to deliver delicious, healthy and sustainable meals while positioning us for significant growth across North America," closed Wu.
