February 8, 2021- Billings, Montana. Billings Gazette’s writer Mari Hall spent time with the owner of Ohana Poke Company, Tyrell Crowell.
Crowell will open a second location of his Ohana Poke Company restaurant a new 2,500-square-foot suite located at 2223 Montana Ave. Suite 104, where The Grotto operated before it closed in 2019. The plan is to open in the next month or so, said Crowell. The Hawaiian inspired restaurant serves ahi tuna that is shipped from Honolulu, and customers can also choose chicken, steak, shrimp, and other proteins to add to their poke bowls.
Third-party delivery service fees are expensive for customers who want poke delivered to the Heights from the restaurant’s location on Grand Avenue. With a downtown location, delivery fees will be cheaper and the restaurant will benefit from weekend dinner crowds.
“It was sort of driven out of need based on customer feedback,” Crowell said. (Billings Gazette, Hall para. 1)

Jake Hedge and helped find and close 2223 Montana Ave. for Crowell. “Tyrell has been a valued client here at Mountain West Commercial for the last several years. He had great success in his first location of Ohana Poke, and I was able to assist him in finding a second location that met his needs in how he wanted to position his business in the market. We canvased the market for almost a year and this location was feasible and effective for Tyrell to continue the growth of his business,” said Hedge.
