Maui Wowi Hawaiian’s newest Franchisee will soon be bringing the Island Flavor to Indiana

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Melissa Lim

The Hawaiian spirit of Maui Wowi is heading to Munster, IN, and Stefan Yanef is the proud member of the 'Ohana (or family) that will be at the helm.  Stefan comes from a banking background, but after the financial crisis, and subsequent collapse of much of the banking industry, he knew it was time to strike out on his own with something that offered a bit more stability and gave him the ultimate control of his and his family's future.

Stefan found Maui Wowi and immediately presented the idea to his family.  They all shared his enthusiasm and his son Andre plans to join the team and help run the business alongside his father.

Stefan and Andre are both excited to get started with Maui Wowi.  The two plan to start small with a mobile unit, called a Ka'anapali Cart.  These mobile units will allow them to serve small venues and events, at a low barrier to entry,  while building brand awareness and establishing a customer base.  Additionally, Stefan plans to add other mobile units as the company groans, and ultimately would like to plant roots with some fixed retail locations.

Stefan couldn't be happier about his decision and how easy the entire franchise process has been.  "We are very pleased to be a part of such a great franchise and excited to have this opportunity. We appreciate the support we have been receiving from the Maui Wowi 'Ohana," said Stefan.
