Hoke Poke
Dominion Construction Partners (DCP) has partnered with a young, energetic entrepreneur to help him realize his vision to bring the Poke bowl phenomenon to Richmond.
Hoke Poke is a Los Angeles-based franchise, and Richmond’s Short Pump area is the hot franchise’s first location in the entire Southeast. The franchise owner, a Richmond native, was determined that his first location would personalize the brand’s laid-back LA vibe for the Richmond market.
He chose DCP to help him realize his dream. DCP managed the construction of the build-out, working as a team with the owner and the architect. Together, we were able to value-engineer the project to complete the job on schedule, within budget, and without a hitch.

While the look and feel of the space is very important to the client, just as important is staying on budget and managing deadlines. Our build-out completely transformed the space, bringing distinct Richmond flair to Hoke Poke’s laid-back LA branding.
