L&L HAWAIIAN BARBECUE TO DONATE APP SALE PROCEEDS FOR MAUI ISLAND FIRE RELIEF

The national, Hawaii-based restaurant franchise is seeking support from its customers to help Maui Island

In response to the raging wildfires that have destroyed entire Maui communities and all but leveled the historic Lahaina town, L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is joining the relief effort by donating one dollar for every customer order made through its official L&L Hawaiian Barbecue mobile app and online website orders, up to $10,000. The relief effort by the company will run through August 31, 2023, to the American Red Cross of Hawaii, providing shelter and comfort to thousands of people who were forced to evacuate due to the massive fires.

"We are humbly asking our supporters, customers, and franchisees across the nation to join us in our effort to support the people of Maui during this challenging time, This is a time to show the spirit and strength of aloha, which has been our commitment and mission throughout the years," says Elisia Flores, CEO of L&L Hawaiian Barbecue.

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, whose corporate headquarters is located on the neighboring island of Oahu, has five locations on Maui Island, often called the "Valley Isle," including two in Lahaina, a tourist and economic hub of 9,000 people. On Thursday, August 10, we were able to finally connect with the operators of Lahaina stores. Unfortunately, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in the Lahaina Shopping Center, located at 170 Papalaua Street, has been totally destroyed by the fires. The other Lahaina L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in the Honokowai Shopping Center, located at 3350 Lower Honoapilani Highway, was not affected, but they do not have access to the Internet or electricity. The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Corporate team is in close contact with all of the franchise operators and employees, and assisting them and their families. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue has 64 other locations throughout Hawaii State, and over 150 locations nationwide, including two in Japan.

The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue App is available through the Apple App Store and the Google Play store for free download.

If anyone is interested in donating directly to the Maui fire relief effort, they can make a direct donation to the American Red Cross of Hawaii at https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii.html.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
