Walmart has partnered with poke bar chain Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar to introduce its fast-food-style poke bars in select Walmart stores nationwide.

The food chain’s nationwide expansion will begin with the rollout of 10 locations throughout California over the next five months, with exclusive menu items designed especially for Walmart customers.

Uncle Sharkii’s Signature Hawaiian Poke Bowls, Boba Milk Teas, and Dole Soft Serve will be offered in-store, with a modern look and feel that aims to complement Walmart’s brand.

“Growing up in Hawai’i, Walmart has always become a gathering point for locals, tourists, and families alike,” shared Raymond Reyes, co-founder and COO of Uncle Sharkii.

“I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that partnering up with Walmart would be possible in my lifetime, and I look forward to a fruitful partnership together.”

Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar has locations in Hawai’i, California, Utah, and Texas, with signed locations in Arizona and Nevada coming online soon.
