King’s Hawaiian was founded in Hilo, Hawaii in the 1950s by Robert R. Taira, who was the son of Japanese immigrants. If you’ve tried any King’s Hawaiian products before, you know there’s a distinctly sweet taste that makes their items unique. The story goes that in Robert’s first bake shop, customers rarely made it home without eating the bread! Robert continued his growth in the Aloha state, and in 1977, his success led to the creation of a 24,000-square-foot bakery in Torrance, California, which today, remains the home of King’s Hawaiian’s domestic operations. From there, Robert continued to innovate by adding more products with his signature island taste, many of which we carry in our stores.
