Through a new partnership with Hang, Island Fin Poké Co.’s loyalty app introduces challenges, games and interactive play for a reimagined user experience

ORLANDO, Fla., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As restaurants face growing pressure to create memorable guest experiences, Hawaiian lifestyle-inspired franchise Island Fin Poké Co. is launching a new loyalty program that transforms one-time transactions into an ongoing guest experience. Powered by Hang and designed to go beyond the traditional “earn points, redeem rewards” model, the platform introduces challenges and exclusive perks that create a more interactive experience both inside and outside the restaurant.

The new loyalty program transforms one-time transactions into an ongoing guest experience.

Island Fin’s new app introduces gamified features that allow guests to engage with the brand in a fun way, enriching the user experience and fostering lasting loyalty. Members can participate in interactive mini-games and rotating monthly challenges, known as Quests, earning rewards for completing activities and visiting their local Island Fin.

It’s another way we’re creating memorable experiences for our Ohana.”

Among the app’s standout features are the Mystery Boxes, which reward guests with prizes based on visits, referrals or qualifying purchases. Mystery Boxes are available for a limited time before disappearing, adding elements of excitement and exclusivity with every box. Rewards vary by tier, from smaller perks like a free topping or fountain drink to heftier discounts, or even a complimentary poké bowl, creating an engaging loyalty experience that encourages repeat visits.

“Successful loyalty programs start with brands that have authentic relationships with their guests, and Island Fin has built exactly that, which is why they’re an ideal fit for Hang’s platform,” said Chad Fox, Co-Founder and Director of Operations at Hang. “We’re excited to bring a new level of engagement to their loyalty program while helping guests discover even more ways to connect with the brand.”

For nearly 10 years, Island Fin has been providing an island-inspired experience to its Ohana, serving nutritious boat-to-bowl proteins, crisp vegetables and flavorful house-made sauces. The new loyalty program reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to creating memorable guest experiences both inside its restaurants and beyond.

The Island Fin Poké Co. app is available now for download on the App Store and Google Play.

Corgi Insurance Appoints Andrew Hefty as Head of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corgi Insurance, the AI-native, full-stack insurance carrier for startups, today announced the appointment of Andrew Hefty as Head of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs.

Hefty brings nearly three decades of legal experience spanning military service, private practice, and the federal government. Hefty comes to Corgi after more than a decade with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement, where he served as both an Investigative Attorney and Senior Trial Attorney representing the SEC in federal court actions involving complex fraud, deceptive securities offerings, and insider trading. Prior to that, Hefty spent nearly 15 years in private practice, most recently as a partner at an international law firm, representing large organizations in significant litigated matters across various business sectors. He began his legal career in the U.S. Navy’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

As Head of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs, Hefty will lead Corgi’s compliance and regulatory strategy as the company continues expanding across new products and markets. He will also oversee compliance programs, manage relationships with regulators and external counsel, and advise the executive team and Board of Directors on strategic regulatory matters and compliance initiatives supporting Corgi’s continued growth.

“The future of insurance belongs to companies that can innovate quickly without compromising on trust,” said Nico Laqua, Co-Founder and CEO of Corgi Insurance. “Andrew has spent his career at the intersection of law, regulation, and enforcement—from private practice to the SEC. As we continue building an AI-native insurance carrier, his experience will help us move quickly while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and regulatory integrity.”

Hefty said he was drawn to Corgi’s vision of modernizing one of the world’s most regulated industries.

“I’ve spent my career on both sides of the regulatory relationship — fifteen years in private practice helping organizations navigate complex legal and regulatory challenges, and a decade at the SEC on the enforcement side, seeing firsthand what regulators expect and what happens when individuals and companies get it wrong,” said Andrew Hefty. “Corgi is building insurance differently, combining technology with a strong commitment to compliance and governance. I’m excited to build a program that supports innovation while earning the trust of customers, regulators, and partners.”

The appointment further strengthens Corgi’s leadership team as the company continues investing in the regulatory, operational, and technological infrastructure needed to build the next generation of insurance.

About Corgi

Corgi is an AI-native full-stack insurance carrier built for startups and other high-growth companies. By combining proprietary underwriting technology, in-house claims handling, and modern insurance infrastructure with decades of insurance expertise, Corgi helps businesses secure coverage faster and manage risk more effectively as they scale.
