JACKSON TWP. – POKÉ Fresh has opened in a cozy spot at 4866 Everhard Road NW. It marks an unexpected return to a familiar location for owner Jonathan Gotschall.

Gotschall previously owned Caroline's Cupcakes in the very same space from 2009 to 2016 before selling the business. Its name then was changed to Nom Nom Popcorn.

Gotschall went on to operate three POKÉ Fresh locations in Summit and Cuyahoga counties from 2018 through 2023, but pandemic challenges and rising rent eventually forced those stores to close.

When The Meat Guys relocated Nom Nom Popcorn (now available online and at Almost Heaven Ice Cream shops), the space opened up again. “I wanted to reopen a POKÉ, and this just felt like the right time and place to do it,” Gotschall said during a recent visit.
