Aloha Maui Wowi! Massapequa Resident Opens Store

Written by Jaime Summersille

When the Marsh family was scouting a location for their new smoothie franchise, Maui Wowi, they found the perfect spot in Wantagh - a former smoothie store.

The Massapequa resident and former information tech guy, franchisee Joseph said little construction had to be done on the Wantagh Avenue storefront, the first of its kind for Long Island. 

"We just had to come in and do franchise stuff," Joseph said.
The smoothie/coffee shop was a perfect fit for the Marsh family. A family-friendly business that's located close to their Massapequa home, Joseph added, "I don't like coffee, I love coffee."

Maui Wowi ships their coffee in from Hawaii. They'll even ground the whole beans for you right in the shop.

As for the smoothies, the store uses all natural, gluten-free ingredients. They also sell Hawaiian-made pastries. Owners of a neighboring business, Numa's Florist gifted Marsh with a good luck plant basket and their son ordered a strawberry smoothie.

The store also offers catering with a tiki bar and a special cart for street fairs. They are located at 1896 Wantagh Ave. in the same shopping center at Numa's. For more information, visit the Maui Wowi main website at www.mauiwowi.com.
