Well established location for over 23 years. This fully refreshed store was a Blimpie co-brand until recently, but the Blimpie expenses ran higher than the Blimpie sales so the bottom line should improve without it. If interested, one can now co-brand with another one of Kahala's other popular brands such as Wetzel’s Pretzels!
