(SeaPRwire) –   ORLANDO, Fla., March 16, 2026 — Island Fin Poké Co. launched its inaugural restaurant nine years ago with a clear goal: to immerse customers in the tropical essence of Hawaii using fresh, island-inspired tastes and components. As the national poké franchise approaches its tenth year, it is marking its ninth anniversary with a day full of unique deals, free gifts, and special rewards for customers, all while adhering to its core purpose of providing wholesome, nutritious poké with a spirit of Ohana.

To commemorate Island Fin Poké Co.’s ninth anniversary, customers are invited to any of its nationwide locations on Friday, March 20, to join the Hawaiian-themed celebration and savor a tasty poké bowl made to their exact preferences. Visitors on March 20 will receive complimentary Island Fin-branded stickers, subject to availability.

Furthermore, the Lake Nona site will host a raffle for several special prizes. One fortunate winner will receive free Island Fin for an entire year (comprising one free poké bowl weekly for 52 weeks). Four other winners will each get a $50 Island Fin gift card to fulfill their poké desires. The initial 50 customers will also obtain a free Island Fin T-shirt, and all other attendees can have free Island Fin-themed cookies and stickers, while stocks remain.

The anniversary freebies are a symbol of thanks to the devoted and encouraging community that has joined their Ohana. Island Fin CEO and Founder Mark Setterington initially imagined a poké establishment that was hospitable, all-embracing, and strongly tied to the community. After nine years and 15 outlets, the company has stayed faithful to that objective.

“Our Ohana is the entire focus of our anniversary festivities,” stated Setterington. “They are the foundation of our growth into the present-day brand, which is why we devote such meticulous care to each bowl. We introduce tasty and wholesome food to our neighborhoods using sustainable, vibrant components such as our Coho salmon and crisp, colorful vegetables.”

Setterington’s commitment and enthusiasm for poké originated in his own kitchen, where he tirelessly tested poké combinations and crafted sauces from scratch. He enlisted relatives and friends for multiple sampling sessions, refining every formula until Island Fin’s proprietary sauces achieved perfection—flavorful, fresh, and without gluten.

Beyond its house-made sauces, Island Fin Poké Co. provides a broad selection of proteins like chicken, tofu, spam, and freshly caught tuna, salmon, and shrimp, along with add-ins, garnishes, and many vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Customers may select a Signature Bowl from the menu or design their own personalized bowl.

For nine years, Island Fin has upheld its straightforward yet significant principles: offering varied, wholesome, and tasty poké via an eco-conscious menu for all, while nurturing a tight, supportive community for each customer. The cherished poké chain stays dedicated to this vision, persistently developing and reaching new neighborhoods nationwide.
