Following a soft opening Jan. 23, Island Fin Poke Co. celebrated the grand opening of its new location in The Shops on Gosling at 24345 Gosling Road, Ste. 120, Spring on Jan. 30. According to franchise co-owner Matt Gustafson, this is the first of three franchise locations planned to open over the next two years in the north Houston area.

The Hawaiian-style restaurant allows patrons to create their own poke bowl by choosing from eight proteins, more than 25 toppings, house-made sauces and specialty mix-ins.

According to Gustafson, patrons can enjoy locally and responsibly sourced ingredients in a beach-shack environment. 832-310-0261. www.islandfinpoke.com
