LemonShark
We operate LemonShark Restaurants, an upscale fast-casual concept focused on Hawaiian-style poke made with sustainably sourced ahi tuna and salmon. Our menu features fresh bowls and plates with proprietary sauces and marinades, toppings, rice, salads, side dishes, and non-alcoholic beverages, along with craft beer and wine. We serve customers looking for a quick, high-quality meal for dine-in or takeout. Our restaurants are typically located in leased spaces in shopping centers, malls, food courts, kiosks, and other high-traffic non-traditional venues such as airports, stadiums, office buildings, and similar sites.
