This week on the Team Lally Real Estate Radio Show, we interview Adam Marumoto of Kona Ice. Adam shares how his passion for community and entrepreneurship led him to start his Kona Ice franchise, how he infuses local flavor into his business, and how his team helps bring joy—and fundraising support—to events across the island.
Adam is a local entrepreneur with a heart for service and community. Since 2015, Adam has been the driving force behind Kona Ice in the Kapolei and Ewa Beach areas, serving up more than just frozen treats. With his aloha spirit and strong commitment to giving back, Adam has become a familiar and welcome presence at countless school events, youth sports games, and community fundraisers. He’s proof that business can be a vehicle for both joy and impact.
Kona Ice of Kapolei & Ewa Beach is more than a mobile shaved ice truck—it’s a traveling celebration. From its vibrant, tropical-themed vehicle to the self-serve Flavorwave™ station, Kona Ice creates an interactive experience that kids and adults alike love. Beyond the fun, Adam’s operation is built on purpose, offering giveback programs that support schools and organizations across West Oʻahu. Whether it’s beating the heat with a delicious treat or raising funds for a great cause, Kona Ice is always ready to roll into action with chill vibes and community pride.
