Maui Wowi Winter Wonderland




When you think Maui Wowi, you think Smoothies. We call it "Vacation In A Cup". One sip, and you are immdiately whisked away to a warm place, reminded of a vacation you were just on or sitting by a pool in some exotic location. All the more reason to continue drinking Maui Wowi smoothies throughout the winter too. In fact, the winter could be the BEST time to have Maui Wowi at your next event, because you have the best of both worlds: A delicious smoothie that reminds you of Summer when it's cold out, and warm, authentic Kona Coffee and Ghiradelli Hot Koko to keep you warm and help you get through the cold winter months. Whatever time of year it is, Maui Wowi is there to serve you!

Maui Wowi Serves up Smoothies, Coffees & Hot Koko at Newburyport Fall Festival










Who said people don't want a nice, refreshing all-natural smoothie in 55 degree weather? Maui Wowi once again found itself in the wonderful city of Newburyport serving our delicious smoothies, coffees and Hot Koko to the crowd there. While the weather in Boston and the rest of Massachusetts was 70 degrees, it was barely 60 and very windy in Newburyport, but that didn't stop people from enjoying Maui Wowi smoothies as they do every time we are there. Many came back for a second time to have a delicious Ghiradelli Hot Koko with whipped cream or a warm cup of our Kona Coffee to stay hot the rest of the day and enjoy the festivities. All along the streets, the lamp-posts were decorated with custom scarecrows which made for a lot of fun as well. Just take a look at the one donated by the Boy Scouts. It's Scout Vadar! Very creative. Once again, Mahalo to the Chamber of Commerce in Newburyport and all who showed up!

Island Blendz, DBA Maui Wowi wins Franchisee Of The Year Award!







I know I mentioned it in a previous Blog, regarding our Nomination, but this blog is regarding the actual awards ceremony The Entrepreneur Source held in Miami, Florida. It was a large, formal affair, with over 500 people in attendance, held on September 15th. Of course, being Maui Wowi, we had to show up in our typical garb, Hawaiian Shirts and linen pants. You might've thought it was a Magnum P.I. re-run. Everyone seemed to embrace the "Aloha Spirit" we brought there and we were also joined by Justin from Maui Wowi Corporate. Naturally, they were pleased to see one of their franchisees win this prestigous award as well. We were honored as their Franchisee of The Year. To say we were flattered to be honored by such a large, succesful organization that watches and works with thousands of Franchisees year round would be an understatement. Also joining us there was our Franchise Coach, Suzanne Gray, seen in a couple of the pictures here. Without her, purchasing this business just wouldn't have been possible and she is a large part of Island Blendz' success. If anyone reading this ever has a dream of owning their own business, particularly a franchise, do yourself a favor and start by talking with Suzanne.
