Hawaii-based Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade has signed a multi-unit franchise agreement with entrepreneur Angela Schofield to bring three lemonade stands to the greater Scottsdale area. This multi-unit franchise agreement officially sells out Wow Wow franchise units in the state of Arizona, according to a company press release.

Schofield plans to bring a Wow Wow location to the Old Town area of Scottsdale by the end of 2022 and will then expand the brand's remaining Arizona footprint with locations in Gilbert and Chandler in the coming years.

Originally from Hawaii, Schofield grew up on Wow Wow. After meeting her husband, she traveled the country for close to a decade while her husband played in the National Football League. After moving back to Hawaii for a few years after her husband's retirement from the NFL, Schofield has now laid down roots in the Scottsdale area and is thrilled to bring her childhood favorite Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade to the area.

"Wow Wow has always been a part of my family's culture for as long as I can remember," she said in the release, "I happened to stumble across the Wow Wow location in Ahwatukee and was instantly brought back to my favorite memories of the brand from my childhood. Wow Wow is truly a part of my family, it's who we are, it's the culture and heritage of where I came from. It's an honor to be able to bring three new locations to the greater Scottsdale area and I am looking forward to the new memories that both my family and the local residents will make when they discover Wow Wow."

With Arizona becoming the first state to sell out for the brand, Wow Wow looks to continue expansion across the country with recent franchise agreements signed in Las Vegas, California and Florida.

"It's an honor to welcome Angela to our Wow Wow O'hana (family) and officially sell out franchise agreements in the state of Arizona," CEO Tim Weiderhoft said in the release. "The Arizona community as a whole has welcomed Wow Wow with open arms since we opened our first franchise location in Scottsdale in 2018. Angela's passion for the brand is second to none and I look forward to working with her further to help spread the Wow Wow aloha vibes across the state."

Founded in Hawaii, Wow Wow specializes in made-from-craft gourmet lemonades — ranging from a classic lemonade to adventurous flavors like the Ginger Pineapple, Passionfruit Guava, Blue Hawaii, and the Lava Flow Lemonade. The chain is committed to sustainability, allowing guests to order their lemonades or smoothies in re-usable mason jars and receive a discount on their next purchase if they bring it back for future use, according to the release.
