Central Florida’s Popular Poké Concept Celebrates The First Restaurant in Brevard County With a Ribbon Cutting, Wall Mural Signing, Art Giveaway, DJ Entertainment and FREE Dole Soft Serve Throughout the Day
The popular, fast-casual, fresh food concept Kona Poké announces the official grand opening celebration of its latest location in Melbourne, Florida on Saturday, March 25, 2023. Kona Poké Melbourne will commemorate the joyous occasion with a ribbon cutting at 11am. The first 150 guests will receive a limited edition print of the wall mural signed by local artist Christopher Maslow, who will also be signing the wall mural at 3pm. DJ DVCATI will play on the patio from 11am-4pm, and Kona Poké Melbourne will offer FREE Dole Soft Serve throughout the day (or until sold out). Melbourne is the first Kona Poké restaurant in Brevard County, to add to Kona Poké Central Florida locations in Sanford and Apopka and Kona Poké Express in Melbourne Beach.
“We’re excited to finally open Melbourne, the first Kona Poké in Brevard County,” says Co-Founder Ernie Falco III. “As a Brevard county resident myself, my team and I couldn’t be happier to bring our love of fresh, healthy, quick-serve food options to the local community. We look forward to everyone joining the celebration all day and experiencing the incredibly delicious, unmatched fresh island bowl offerings we’re known for.”
