Hawaiian inspired restaurant called Konala coming to Post Falls

 An exciting new restaurant is coming soon to Post Falls! Konala is planning to open in a brand-new building coming soon to 107 E. 7th, behind the Bunker Bar on parcel where a former BBQ restaurant once stood. In fact, the new business will be locally owned and operated by Trace and Jammie Miller who also own the Bunker Bar and Burger Bunker food truck.

Konala, which is a Hawaiian word for meaning "world ruler" being used by the owners as they want to help change the world one store at a time by offering healthier options for people to eat quickly and conveniently. It is also a combination of their dog's names Kona and Nala, and as dog lovers they plan to have dog treats for dogs brought to the restaurant.

The owners met and lived in Hawaii say they miss the local food. The menu will have many Hawaiian inspired items like teriyaki chicken, grilled steak, salads and poke bowls. It will be healthy fast food with drive thru, an online order pick-up window and outdoor ordering kiosk / seating area.

Architectural firm HDG of Spokane designed the restaurant and the building is being constructed off-site by Xtreme Cubes of Las Vegas who have built many quick service restaurants for national brands. They tell me the building will be 99% complete by the time it's installed on the site in Post Falls. As of the current plan Konala is planning to open for business around March of 2023.

Updates and more will be coming soon on their website http://konala.com
