Marcus Middleton

Founder. Operator. Visionary Behind Keoni’s Express.

Keoni’s Express didn’t start as a trend.

It started as a standard.

Marcus Middleton built Keoni’s with one goal in mind — to serve bold Southern flavor rooted in Gullah influence, executed with discipline and love.

Before systems, before scaling, before growth plans — there was craft. Long prep days. Tight kitchen space. High volume. Real pressure. And a refusal to cut corners.

Marcus believes food should feel intentional. Every plate leaving the kitchen represents legacy, culture, and work ethic.

This isn’t a hobby.
This is the purpose.
