Lihu‘e Town was built by visionaries and rogues, adventurers and philanthropists, laborers and entrepreneurs who journeyed here from East and West. The town’s roots are burrowed deep in Hawai‘i’s early sugar industry. Over time Lihu‘e branched out to become what it is known as today-“the heart of Kaua‘i.” Lihu‘e: Root and Branch of a Hawai‘i Town tells the story of that transformation, of the people who brought us from then to now and the structures they built along the way.

McDonald’s of Kauai continues to give back to the community Darlene Chung and her late husband, Frankie, started working for McDonald’s in Oahu more than 35 years ago working as entry level crew members. Prior to purchasing the Kauai restaurants, Frankie worked as the director of operations for McDonald’s Restaurants of Hawaii and Darlene as the operations supervisor. In November 2009, the couple acquired all of Kauai’s McDonald’s and they moved to Lihue shortly thereafter. Frankie quickly became a part of the Kauai community and was recognized as one of the business leaders on the island. On January 23, 2011, Frankie died leaving Darlene with their two sons,
Brandon, 30 and Michael, 12. Darlene took over the overall operations of the restaurants. Today, Brandon has taken a more proactive role in their family business helping Darlene with the overall operations and marketing of the Kauai stores. Over the years, McDonald’s of Kauai has contributed thousands of dollars to various non-profit organizations and schools (scholarships and athletic programs). They have also collected thousands of dollars for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kauai. “It is a partnership with the community. Their support enables us to support these organizations, and we thank them for their continued trust and
Happy Holidays from the Chung family and the McDonald’s Kauai staff. support in us,” Darlene said. The Chung family takes pride in their family owned and operated business and has employed more than 150 since 2009 in Kauai. The holiday season is always a busy time for McDonald’s. People don’t have time to cook around the holidays while they go out and about to shop. McDonald’s is convenient, and there is something for every member of their family. Kids meals are especially
popular. And the meals are priced quite reasonably. Where else can you get 2 items for $3.00 (under their 2 for 3 Special menu). Now, McDonald’s offers your favorite breakfast all day long. McDonald’s is currently offering holiday gift cards in any amount, from $5 to $25, great as gifts or stocking stuffers. And, with a $25 Arch card, receive a 10 piece chicken McNugget coupon while supplies last.
