Fans of Made In Hawaii products should make a beeline for Times supermarkets this week to try the latest delicious made -in- the-islands product.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Rose-lani on our Hawaiian Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, as Roselani, like Hawaiian Vanilla Company, has strong family-oriented connections here in the Hawaiian islands,” says Reddekopp.
