PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marguerite Barnett and
Kristin Parris have opened a new franchise location
of Maui Wowi® Hawaiian Coffees & Smoothies in
Philadelphia, PA. The 895 square foot café will
celebrate its grand opening beginning February 5. This
is the first and only Maui Wowi Hawaiian store in the
Philadelphia area.
Maui Wowi at The Edge is located at 1601 North 15th
Street, Suite 3A, behind the Pearl Theater and nestled
between Oxford Street and Cecil B. Moore Ave. Its location
adjacent to the Temple University campus is perfectly
positioned to offer university students, staff, and
visitors as well as local commuters an authentic “taste
of the Islands.” The new store is open every day
from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and early risers will appreciate
the variety of Kona-blend coffees and fresh-baked pastries.
Known for its fresh-fruit smoothies, exclusive Hawaiian
coffees, and unique Hawaiian merchandise, Maui Wowi
Hawaiian is now importing top-selling items from Hawaiian
farms and bakers — items that before now could
only be purchased online or in Hawaii.
Kristin Parris, a Temple University Medical School
graduate (1990), and Maggie Barnett, both Philadelphia
residents, share a background in healthcare. Parris
is an attending physician at Temple University Hospital,
and Barnett’s background is in nursing with a history
on the corporate side of healthcare. They’ve teamed
up to bring Aloha Spirit to their customers, providing
a mini Hawaiian vacation in every cup. “We take
great pride in sharing the pleasures of true Hawaii,”
said Barnett, who is originally from the islands. “The
Aloha Spirit isn’t just an attitude – it’s
a way of life that embraces the values of harmony and
balanced living. We love the genuine Hawaiian products
and the Maui Wowi business model. This is a perfect
fit for us to meet both our business and personal goals.”
