Interesting that the Getty Corporation leaves out the Waikiki one, because it was not part of the chain. And ironic that BOTH, Don and Vic, imported their concepts to Hawaii from the mainland, and then BOTH those Waikiki franchises separated from their chains - except Vic keeping the chain, and Don ending up with one place only...but whatta place! Thought this belongs on this page, another Hollywood Beachcomber likeness (from Tiki Hula's site): I have no idea what it's good for, a piggy bank maybe? Still, one holy grail for the Beachcomber collector!
