Uncle Sharkii Expands Partnership with Walmart, Bringing Affordable Poke Bowls to More Shoppers
In a December Sacramento press release, Uncle Sharkii announced its partnership with Walmart and its goal to deliver the Sharkii Ohana to millions of Walmart shoppers. The expansion advances Uncle Sharkii’s goal of “Affordable Poke Bowls to the Masses.”
Hawaiian Poke Bowls, Boba Milk Teas, and Dole Soft Serve are Uncle Sharkii’s specialties. The press release touts Uncle Sharkii’s Walmart stores’ new modern appearance and Walmart-exclusive menu items.
The collaboration is based on community values. Uncle Sharkii’s brand is about families sharing meals, like Walmart’s community-focused strategy. Create an experience that connects with Walmart’s community, says the press release.
Walmart Welcomes Uncle Sharkii’s Poke Bowls: A Flavorful Fusion for California Shoppers
Uncle Sharkii specializes in poke bowls with diced raw fish, vegetables, and grains. For fish-free poke bowls, the eatery serves tofu and chicken. Choose rice, salad, protein, and sauce for your bowl.
Vacaville’s first Walmart Uncle Sharkii opened in the fall with BOGO Poke Bowl, BOGO Boba tea, and Uncle Sharkii item giveaways during its big opening weekend. Early adopters received $5 in Uncle Sharkii credit for future purchases.
Founded in 2018 at an overseas family gathering, Uncle Sharkii promotes real Ohana “family” customs. As it grows, the brand is accessible to franchising. Walmart’s addition of Uncle Sharkii Poke Bars to its California outlets shows its desire to adapt to evolving consumer tastes.
