Openings & Announcements
LemonShark Poké & Makai Grill’s first Ohio location debuts on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 3969 Merchants Row in Easton Town Center. The sibling concepts, LemonShark and Makai, are being combined under one roof to offer both fast-casual and full-service dining experiences, featuring sushi-grade fish (poke) and hibachi-style grilled meats. LemonShark originated in Southern California in 2016 and began franchising the following year. The fast-growing Hawaiian-inspired concept currently has 14 locations in five states. “We’re thrilled to introduce our passion to the Greater Columbus area and to join the Easton family,” said the location’s co-owner Sherry Whay in a press release. “As a local female business owner and OSU alumna, this community has provided me so many opportunities. It’s our goal, by means of this restaurant, to give back in a variety of ways.”
