Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina, Maui, has a long and cherished history. The original location opened 35 years ago upstairs in historic downtown Lahaina, marking the start of what would become a notable local and regional brand.

They also expanded beyond Hawaii into other states and even other countries, guided by long-time employees and the dedication of the family, including their daughter.

The message from the owners reflects gratitude and fondness for their loyal customers, while acknowledging the bittersweet reality of not being able to continue in the original Lahaina location.
