Chubbies is on the move
Chubbies Burgers, known for its food stand serving quality burger fare in the Kakaako area, will be relocating to Kaimuki. The biz will be moving into the restaurant space at 1145 12th Ave. (the former Koko Head Café space).
“This location will be a great fit for the Chubbies Burgers brand,” states Jeffrey Nedry, owner of Chubbies Burgers. “We love the neighborhood of Kaimuki and feel that Chubbies will be a great addition to the collection of small businesses in the area.
We are so glad to finally graduate from our food trailer into a brick-and-mortar location.”
The opening date for the Kaimuki location is scheduled for early May. Chubbies plans to add a few new items to its menu, including a couple beers and cocktails. The final date of service at the Kakaako food trailer will be at the end of April (exact date to be announced).
