ICEE and Hawaiian Bros Island Grill have announced a partnership that will see the former original frozen beverage brand bringing its signature refreshments to the fast-casual restaurant brand's participating locations. The partnership will see iCEE drinks in Blue Raspberry Pina Colada and Coca-Cola flavors gracing the restaurant's menu, and will thus fit in well with the various fare options. The incorporation of the frozen drinks comes as a natural progression by complementing the Hawaiian dishes and further enhancing the tropical theme.
Vice President of Marketing at ICE Kimmra Hingher commented on the ICEE and Hawaiian Bros Island Grill partnership saying, "Hawaiian Bros is a brand that values flavor and guest experience much like we do. Introducing ICEE to their menu creates a natural complement to the bold, tropical flavors Hawaiian Bros is known for."
