Where will Chick-Fil-A open in Hawaii?
Chick-fil-A announced plans to open a location in Hawaii, on the island of O’ahu, in 2018. In 2021, it announced that it would establish three new restaurants in Hawaii between mid-to-late 2022 and early 2023. Two of the new Chick-fil-A locations will be in Honolulu, the state capital, a third in Kapolei, west of Honolulu which is also the most populated island of Oahu, and a fourth on the island of Maui. The tentative dates have also been announced: July 25 - Honolulu July 26 - Kapolei August 1 - Maui ..
The following four new shopping centers are scheduled to open in the next two years: Maui (100 Ho’okele Street, Kahului), Ala Moana Center (1450 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu), Makiki (1050 S Beretania Street, Honolulu), and Kapolei Parkway & Kualakai (NWC Kualakai Pkwy & Kapolei Pkwy, Kapolei). The operators of these centers are Sean Whaley for Maui, Kurt Milne for Ala Moana Center, Zane Dydasco for Makiki, and Spencer Goo for Kapolei Parkway & Kualaka`i. ..
Chick-Fil-A has announced that it will open three restaurants in Kahului, Oahu in mid-2021 and two more in early 2022. The fast food chain will employ between 80 and 120 workers for each new restaurant. Chick-Fil-A will take responsibility for training and mentoring the workers while ensuring that the company follows relevant labor laws. The company has also announced that it will contribute $25,000 to local communities to commemorate the launch of each new location. Additionally, through its Shared Table Program, Chick-Fil-A restaurants will give excess food to local charity organizations, shelters, and soup kitchens. ..
Who are the restaurant operators?
Chick-Fil-A has recruited competent and diverse professionals to join their Operator team, who will devote their time and energy to driving the new restaurants to success.
The Maui restaurant will be operated by Sean Whaley, who has years of experience in the restaurant industry. Kurt Milne, who has established life on O’ahu and wishes to serve the Honolulu community with his vast knowledge in restaurant management and personal love for Chick-Fil-A, will lead the Moana Mall location. The Makiki restaurant will be overseen by Zane Dydasco, who spent his childhood just 10 minutes away from where the Makiki restaurant is set to open. Spencer Goo will operate the restaurant at Kapolei Parkway and Kualaka’i. He grew up in Kapolei and worked as a realtor and at local Chick-Fil-A restaurants in Utah, which prepared him for this role. ..

Chick-Fil-A has a Hawaiian-themed restaurant in Georgia that went viral on social media back in 2020 for its tropical nuggets, bread pudding, and other Hawaiian-inspired items; perhaps customers can expect a similar menu in the Aloha state when the outlets open.
