We’re still feeling the love from our 65th Anniversary! 🌈❤️

Both Kapahulu and Pearlridge were incredibly busy, serving a record number of orders throughout the day. Seeing so many familiar faces, longtime customers, and new friends come out to celebrate 65 years with us made this milestone one we’ll never forget.

Mahalo for your patience and understanding as our teams worked hard to keep up with the crowds, and a special shoutout to our Rainbow Drive-In team for giving it their all on such a big day 🙌

65 years, generations of memories! Mahalo, Hawaiʻi! 🌈🤙 taken in Rainbow Drive-In by @rainbowdrivein
