ABOUT US
Pounders Hawaiian Grill’s mission is to live and share “The Aloha Spirit” and then serve excellent, quick, Hawaiian style food. We are on a journey to finding the meeting place of “The Aloha Spirit” and “The American Dream.”
-
Crestview, Florida native Kakela Peters moves to Logan, Utah and enrolls at Utah State University. -
Gets hired on at Pounders Hawaiian Island Grill. The Dream of owning his own restaurant is born. -
Pounders Hawaiian Island Grill closes its doors and Kakela transfers to Mo Bettah’s Hawaiian Style Restaurant. -
Marries Skylar Peters -
Kakela and Skylar rent out their home, sell their vehicles and furniture, finance a food truck, and move their family to Crestview to pursue their dream. -
After being denied by three different lenders, Kakela’s grandma and grandpa Drasko provide him with the remaining needed funds to support the startup costs of the food truck. Pounders Hawaiian Grill, on wheels, opens for business. -
High demand from food truck pushes business into brick and mortar location. -
The journey continues…
