Italian poke restaurant chain Poke House announced plans to pursue an initial public offering in London and New York, as well as opening 65 sites in the UK over the next two years.

The company, which was founded at the end 2018 by Matteo Pichi and Vittoria Zanetti, closed 2021 with nearly €40 million (£33 million) in annual revenues and is projecting more than €100 million (£83 million) this year.

Last year also saw the group acquire Ahi Poke and opened its first UK restaurant, with six sites now open across London and an additional 80 openings planned across the UK, Europe and the United States this year. 

They recently expanded in the U.S., following an investment into poké brand Sweetfin, which has 14 locations.

"We're entering the American market through the main door, and in partnership with an iconic brand which is loved by locals, one that has made the Californian inspired poké a real institution. We're very excited to see the business grow globally over the next few years and are hoping to move forward with an IPO in both New York and London,” Pichi said in a statement.
