Hai Poké, the popup that found a permanent home in the Short North back in September of 2017, is now also available at Polaris Fashion Place. Owners Mico Cordero and Nile Woodson made the announcement on Facebook via video on Sunday. Hai Poké has set up shop in the old Teavana space across from Starbucks.
“It’s been a crazy journey, and we wouldn’t be able to do it without you guys, our Hai fam mafia,” said Cordero, fighting back tears in the video.
“I’m just so grateful and so thankful,” Woodson added tearfully. “We’re so blessed to have the Hai fam. And, we’re rolling into our next adventure: a beautiful popup at Polaris, which we couldn’t have done without you guys.”
As the video zoomed out, chopped onions were revealed to be the cause of the waterworks.
“You just mean so much to us,” both said.
The Hai Poké popup at Polaris began on April 4 and is open daily at 11 a.m.
