Maui Wowi Hawaiian sets up shop in Coney Island

April 16, 2014

Maui Wowi Hawaiian opened this week at Luna Park in Coney Island, the famous New York City attraction and home to The Cyclone, a historic Coney Island roller coaster. Luna Park is a perfect fit for the fun Hawaiian themed Maui Wowi concept, said Franchisee Mitch York.

"The park offers great visibility for the brand and is just steps from the Coney Island boardwalk and the beach," he said. "It's a major draw for New Yorkers and we look forward to serving them our one-of-a-kind Maui Wowi smoothies all summer long."

York got his start with Maui Wowi in 2002 and has since built a very successful business. He focuses on catering private parties and corporate events, as well as serving at universities. York said he also continues to expand and look for new opportunities such as Luna Park, which is operated by Central Amusement International.

"As we continue to expand our food and beverage offerings here at Luna Park in Coney Island, we are thrilled to be able to offer Maui Wowi's fresh fruit smoothies, which are refreshing, all-natural and gluten free," said Brian Williams, GM of CAI Foods at Luna Park. "Summers are relatively warm in New York, so guests can now cool down with Maui Wowi's fresh fruit smoothies, available in a variety of tropical flavors."

Maui Wowi will be open during park hours now through the end of the 2014 season.
