<a href="https://pokeworks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Pokeworks</a>, the largest and fastest-growing fast-casual poke brand known for its fresh, customizable offerings, is continuing its expansion across Greater Boston, led by multi-unit franchise partners Rong Cong and Lelin Kandel. After signing a seven-unit development deal with the brand in 2024, the duo has established a strong development pipeline with two new openings, additional locations underway, and strong early performance gaining traction across the market.
Most recently, Pokeworks opened a new location at 60 First St. in Cambridge in February,
positioned at the entrance of the CambridgeSide Galleria, a high-traffic area. The team also reopened Pokeworks&rsquo; Somerville restaurant at 261 Elm St.
Additional restaurants are underway, in Burlington (opening Q2) and
Hanover Crossover (opening this summer). As they continue to scale, Cong and Kandel are seeking real estate across neighborhoods such as Wellesley, Jamaica Plain, Fenway-Kenmore, Seaport, Brighton-Allston, and Woburn.
&ldquo;Boston is a fantastic place with a unique liveliness and resilience, and that really shapes how people approach their daily lives, including how they eat,&rdquo; said Cong.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s one of the oldest cities in the country, but also incredibly forward-thinking, with a strong focus on healthy living. Pokeworks fits naturally into that mindset, and we&rsquo;re excited to expand into more neighborhoods and bring an accessible, sustainably sourced, and great-tasting option to the community.&rdquo;
Kandel&rsquo;s path to ownership reflects a full-circle moment for the brand, having started as Pokeworks&rsquo; first-ever employee in 2015 before rising to Senior Operations Manager and now serving as a multi-unit franchisee. Combined with Cong&rsquo;s experience operating and scaling multiple Pokeworks locations in other markets, the duo is focused on disciplined, community-driven growth across the Boston market. 
&ldquo;As local owners, we take a lot of pride in building something meaningful within the communities we&rsquo;re part of, and that really shapes how we approach each new location,&rdquo; said Kandel. &ldquo;Having been with Pokeworks since the very beginning, it&rsquo;s incredibly rewarding to now be growing the brand in a city like Boston, where there is such a strong appreciation for quality, consistency, and a great overall dining experience.&rdquo;
Early results have been particularly strong in Cambridge, where the location has generated a remarkable surge in catering orders and established a high level of repeat business. This performance reinforces the brand&rsquo;s relevance among both individual guests and corporate clients. As they continue to expand, the group is prioritizing strategic, measured growth across the Boston metro, focusing on building density in high-potential neighborhoods before entering new markets, with ongoing support from Pokeworks&rsquo; corporate team helping guide development and operations. 
&ldquo;Rong and Lelin exemplify the kind of long-term commitment we value in our franchise system,&rdquo; said Peter Yang, Co-Founder and Head of Development of Pokeworks.&ldquo;Both have deep roots with the brand, bringing years of experience and a strong understanding of our operations, which allows them to grow thoughtfully while staying true to the communities they serve.&rdquo;
Founded in 2015, Pokeworks was born from a group of friends and their love for Hawaiian poke. After experiencing authentic poke, the founders recognized the clear gap on the mainland and set out to bring the fresh flavors of Hawaiian poke by offering customizable, healthy poke bowls, burritos, and salads. Their Poke Your Way&#9415;approach lets guests tailor orders to various diets, including vegan and gluten-free, while offering convenient grab-and-go options for guests on the go.

About Pokeworks
Pokeworks was founded in 2015 with the simple mission of spreading its love of poke &ndash;the crisp, fresh, healthy Hawaiian favorite &ndash; with the world. Pokeworks&rsquo; innovative Poke Your Way&#9415; approach is groundbreaking, offering guests over 50,000 ways to customize their poke order to match their eating preferences including vegan, gluten-free, and other mindful diets. The Poke Burrito has developed a cult-like following, much like Pokeworks&rsquo; proprietary sauces, which range from sweet and spicy to savory. Pokeworks believes in supporting a healthy lifestyle and serving guests meals made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients from sustainable food sources. In 2022, the brand was honored to be named the &ldquo;Top Poke Franchise&rdquo; by Startups Magazine. Pokeworks has quickly expanded to become the leading fast-casual poke brand in the world with seven consecutive years on Fast Casual&rsquo;s &ldquo;Top 100 Movers and Shakers&rdquo; list. The brand has 80+ locations across 22 states, Taiwan, and Canada.

Hi everyone,
I still have some slots open for my IRB-approved research study focused on how men adjust to retirement, and I&rsquo;m looking to connect with men who are retired.
The goal of this study is to better understand the personal and emotional aspects of this transition&mdash;particularly changes in identity, purpose, and day-to-day life that can come with leaving a long-held career.
Participation involves a confidential one-on-one interview conducted remotely. Your perspective could help bring greater awareness to this experience and support others navigating similar transitions.
If you&rsquo;re interested in participating or would like more information, please feel free to comment below, send me a direct message, or contact me at <a href="mailto:jsanabria@rivier.edu" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">jsanabria@rivier.edu</a>.
You can also learn more about the study here: <a href="https://t.co/bDG7cHKPRI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://yourseniorjourney.com/retirement-relationship</a>...

Hailing from the city of Boston, Alternative Pop artist Jodi Heights stands out in the sea of singer-songwriters with her classically honed technique and her poetic prowess. She holds multiple degrees in music, including a Master of Music from the New England Conservatory.
This release concert celebrates Jodi’s night-themed album, Nocturne, her first Grammy-submitted project.
“I’ve always been a night owl, so writing and recording a whole project centered around loving the dark seemed natural to me. I hope people will receive ‘Nocturne’ as a lullaby to their weary hearts. Turn off all the lights. Maybe burn a few candles, and listen to the whole album at night. Come find your way in the dark.” – Jodi Heights
Nocturne is Jodi’s 6th recording project and marks her second project with Grammy-nominated engineer John Weston of Futura Productions (Roslindale, MA). The album is available in Dolby Atmos, a spatial audio technology for immersive sound.

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa is a private, results-driven skincare studio serving Winthrop and the Greater Boston area. Founded by nationally recognized beauty expert Kerry Spindler, the practice blends advanced clinical knowledge with a holistic, whole-person approach to skin health. Every treatment is fully customized. No cookie-cutter facials. No trend chasing. Just intelligent, personalized care based on what your skin actually needs. Kerry is an oncology-trained paramedical esthetician and melanoma survivor whose background in advanced skin science allows her to work confidently with all skin types, tones, and concerns — from acne, breakouts, and congestion to pigmentation, aging, texture changes, and overall skin resilience. Services include advanced corrective facials, microneedling with RF, nano needling, chemical peels, microcurrent lifting, LED light therapy, acne-focused treatments, pigmentation correction, and barrier-repair support. The spa also offers brow and lash services, facial waxing for delicate areas, and holistic support services such as Reiki and traditional herbal yoni steaming. Clients travel from Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and surrounding neighborhoods for Kerry’s education-first approach, precision treatments, and long-term skin strategy. This is a quiet, boutique setting designed for people who want real expertise and thoughtful care — not rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all spa menus. Appointments are by reservation only.
