"Father & Husband first, restaurant owner second" as Kakela Peters describes himself, has lived the majority of his life locally in Crestview, Fl. Personally, I have enjoyed getting to witness his road to success from moving back home with a family and a dream to making his first $300/day profit in his food truck to over $3,000 a day in his brick and motor that we all love to frequent, to opening a second location in Niceville. He has truly created an atmosphere that honors the Aloha spirit as well as a place his employees, lovingly described as the Pounders Ohana, love to be a part of. Kakela tells us some background stories like how working at a San Destin Resort and Olive Garden shaped him into being a responsible working adult. Then how he truly found his calling and purpose in life when he worked at the first two Hawaiian restaurants in Utah during his college years. He shares with us the truths about working that first year in the food truck and how much he had to sacrifice being away from his family. We appreciated Kakela's testimony & gratitude for God's Love and the teaching of Jesus Christ that continue to inspire him daily and plays such an elemental roll in the way he runs his business-leading with love.
