Little did she know that there was a concept out there that would allow her to have all she’d ever dreamed of. “The idea of not only owning my own business, but also buying into a concept that embraces Aloha Spirit, community and a more relaxed way of doing business, really appealed to me.” says Trisha. Trisha’s first location opened this week at 8503 NW Military Highway Suite 101 San Antonio, TX 78230, and clearly her community also embraces the Aloha Spirit, as was evident in the turnout and support for her new location. “The Aloha Spirit and Ohana are very important words for us,” says Michael Haith, the Big Kahuna of Maui Wowi Hawaiian. “Just as in traditional Hawaiian culture, we believe in looking after and supporting one another. Whether your Maui Wowi business is in San Antonio or Singapore, you know you’re a part of an Ohana that will help you wherever we can for you to succeed.” From a business perspective, Trisha Clinton liked that Maui Wowi Hawaiian has been helping people exchange their wing-tips for flip-flops for over ten years.
