Cool Deal For Father’s Day
If you’ ve been to Rain- bow Crack Seed lately, you’ ve noticed the shop has undergone a bright re- fresh. The store, a staple at Windward City Shopping Center for 25 years now, is also offering up a slate of refreshing treats to kick off summer. In addition to its colorful shave ice, the crackseed store also serves up Dave’s Ice Cream and ICEEs. In honor of Father’s Day, Rainbow Crack Seed will be offering a coupon for a free, small ICEE for those who spend $25 or more on June 18, 19 and 20. Christy Ha, owner and founder of Rainbow Crack Seed, says that dads tend to lean toward the savory side, like popcorn or seafood items such as dried ika.
“Popcorn is very popular for Father’s Day, pūpū-style things,” she says. The snack shop also carries all you’ ll need to partake of the latest crackseed craze: lemon peel coated gummies.
