Kahului

Meet Restaurant Operator

Sean Whaley

Aloha, my full-time job, and my passion, is to make sure your Chick-fil-A experience is nō ka ‘oi (the best). While I am part of a larger organization, as an Owner-Operator, it is my kuleana (responsibility and privilege) to honor the Hawaiian culture and the Chick-fil-A culture by creating a special Chick-fil-A ‘ohana (family) here in Kahului. Both cultures come together well because both are focused on people. The “Aloha Spirit” is the coordination of our thoughts and our actions. It means mutual regard and affection with no obligation in return. Our founder Truett Cathy would often say, “We’re not just in the chicken business, we’re in the people business.” We demonstrate this to our guest through great service and quality food. To our team members, we invest time and provide a path that will help them reach their full potential. As a member of the Maui community, I enjoy being involved with schools, charities, and community events that give back to our Maui ‘ohana and make our community life better and more enjoyable. I love meeting people in our community, so if you happen to see me around the restaurant, please take a few minutes to talk story. I truly look forward to meeting you.
