Mark and his business partner Paul met in 2004 at Bahama Breeze. Mark had just relocated his family to Orlando to be the General Manager of the Intl. Drive location, and Paul was his bar manager. From the very start, they were already more like brothers than friends. Days off, vacations, and days on the boat, both families eventually grew close too, and their kids grew up together. They both talked about starting their own restaurant. Mark relocated to Las Vegas in 2007, but they stayed in touch. They could go months without talking, but then when they did it was as if no time passed, with them picking up where they left off. Mark and Paul still went on vacations in Orlando, and the pair continued to talk of starting something of “their own”. This plan was eventually realized when Mark got a text from Paul in August 2016 – he had quit his job. At this point, Mark was overseeing 5 restaurants (each) in Las Vegas and LA. Paul flew to LA, where Mark introduced him to his favorite restaurants, some of which he enjoyed, and others where he didn’t. When the food fest was done, they went on a road trip back to Vegas while discussing the concept of their soon-to-be restaurant. They came up with three things: incredible food, remarkable service, and something that was easy to replicate. This led to the birth of the Island Fin Poke Company! Mark's Las Vegas kitchen became the starting point of their poke. Friends and family gathered to taste test sauces. Over the course of a few months, their homemade sauces were finally created - fresh, delicious, and all gluten free. Mark and I discuss the history, the present growth and future of this fast paced, fast-casual restaurant franchise brand. Founded in 2017 in Orlando Fl, there are now 20 locations open, 8 under Construction and 12 in development in 13 states. Restaurants are still the most popular franchise category and IFPC is a low cost start up, healthy & fairly easy to operate. Please reach out to us with any questions about this brand or any others. You will receive $2000 when you complete your franchise business through our team.
