E Noa company, a trolley tour company, recently signed a license agreement to build and operate Farrell's on the Hawaiian Islands. Their first parlour is scheduled to open in June, 2006 at the Windward Mall in Kaneohe.
In the spirit of that announcement, the article below was published in the Farrell's Sundae Funnies in 1970, shortly after Hawaii's first Farrell's opened.
"Aloha! Joy Nesmith, cashier at the new Farrell's - Kahala Mall (Honolulu) store, reports that the shiny nui (new) Kine (Hawaiian) Farrell's has been open a little over two months and the kamaainas (long-time residents) and malihinis (new-comers or tourists) are finding the Farrell's fare really ono (good)!
Many customers, as well as the crew, are already showing the results of Farrell's fabulous kaukau (food) and fantastic fountain fantasies...they're getting momona (fat).
That doesn't slow the Zoos down though...last week one went right through the fire exit.
To put patrons in a happy mood, Farrell's - Hawaii has added a new flavor, Passion Fruit Sherbet. Now, says Joy, she can understand why the Hawaiians are so friendly!"
As a franchise, the Hawaii Farrell's showed tremendous deference to the Island population; for example:
-
White rice was offered as an alternative to french fries on most burgers and sandwiches.
-
Frozen yogurt sundaes were offered on the menus in addition to the ice cream treats.
-
Macadamia Nut ice cream was on the menu.
-
Specialty food entrees included Curried Turkey Salad, Spaghetti, Saimin, and Chili & Rice.
-
The kid's menu was called (of course) the Keiki Menu.
-
Belly Buster sundaes included the Honolulu Zoo, the Mauna Kea, and Madam Pele's Volcano.
