Hawaiian Restaurant Partnerships

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'King's Hawaiian' Acquired 'Shaka Tea' to Expand Both Businesses

— February 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
'King's Hawaiian,' the bakery founded in Hilo, Hawaii, has acquired 'Shaka Tea,' a Hawaiian beverage manufacturer. This acquisition showcases King's Hawaiian's commitment to platforming and providing opportunities for Hawaiian brands, as Shaka Tea is based in Hilo where King's Hawaiian was founded.

King's Hawaiian has grown to be a national success across the United States. The restaurant is now based in California, though it is honoring its Hawaiian roots by supporting Shaka Tea. This deal was motivated by the genuine quality, sustainable practices, and successful business model that Shaka Tea boasts.

Through this acquisition, King's Hawaiian will now be able to sell drinks from Shaka Tea at its locations, as well as look into further food and drink products. With this new venture, King's Hawaiian can transform into more of a restaurant than a bakery due to its capabilities of offering a full range of food products.
