Melissa Marshall said it was a joke in her family. Who would intensify to drive the food truck?
It was a business that her daughter -in -law started, but set aside when she received a great job offer. They cleaned the truck and he sat for months on the alley.
Meanwhile, Marshall and her husband Tony were looking for a project. Even if it took them some time to fully realize it.
The marshals are both former military. They served together in Afghanistan and lived in Hawaii for some time. When they retired and returned to the delivery area, they bought a camper and went around the country for years while home school children.
Now they have two sons who enter the army. Is it time to return a grill for Pineapple of Paradise? Their daughter -in -law, who is Hawaiian, encouraged them to do so. Although he was holding the truck mainly in the delivery and ash area in Brunswick County, when he managed it, he was popular.
“It was always,” When will you drive the truck? “Said Melissa Marshall. Then it was like “What if we did it?”
They realized that with so many events and breweries in the Big Wilmington area, this could be a good idea. And while there are many mobile options when it comes to burgers or pizza, Hawaiian food is still something unique. The locals have seen more opportunities when it comes to Pan-Asian and Slit food, especially with regard to Poke, raw fish salad popular in Hawaii. But the marshals are planning a comfortable food to absorb the kitchen.

“Hawaiian food should not just taste good. There must be this feeling of a family of Ohan, “said Marshall.” Hawaiian food is a simple food. “
They will offer traditional dishes such as Kalua Pork, Chicken Chicken and Huli-Huli Chicken Wings.
“It is classic and we serve it with a pineapple salsa,” Marshall said. “We will have garlic shrimp with lots of garlic and oil.” And they refine their pineapple with their heads down the dessert cake.
In recent months, they have updated the truck and receive the necessary permits. They are now planning to launch on March 1 with a manifestation at Mannkind Brewing in Leland. The next day, they will be at Crossroads a gathering for an event with the girls club on Sapoport.
Marshalls are new to the food truck business, but she said the community was already useful.
“People were already so supportive,” Marshall said. “We look forward to going out there.”
