I could not get a definite answer as to how traditional these franchises are going to be, but I believe more so than the Palo Alto one. The Tikis will supposedly be carved in Asia, from the original Barney West ones still in the company's posession. We know the mugs will be top notch thanks to Holden Westland's Tiki Farm. Mai Tais to the world! [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2002-11-03 09:15 ]
