| 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 has opened
at the Windward Mall in Kaneohe. The second parlour opened at Pearlridge
Center. Their website is up and running at
www.FarrellsHawaii.com.
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:
1) White
rice was offered as an alternative to french fries on most burgers and
sandwiches.
2) Frozen
yogurt sundaes were offered on the menus in addition to the ice cream
treats.
3)
Macadamia Nut ice cream was on the menu.
4)
Specialty food entrees included Curried Turkey Salad, Spaghetti, Saimin,
and Chili & Rice.
5) The
kid's menu was called (of course) the Keiki Menu.
6) Belly
Buster sundaes included the Honolulu Zoo, the Mauna Kea, and Madam
Pele's Volcano.
