KING'S HAWAIIAN will be making future announcements about these events during the 2018 season.
The KING'S HAWAIIAN Grill in-stadium concept began at Dodger Stadium in 2017 by the KING'S HAWAIIAN brand, which also owns and operates two restaurant/bakeries in Southern California and manages national distribution of its signature KING'S HAWAIIAN breads. This year KING'S HAWAIIAN will be coast-to-coast with grills at both Dodger Stadium and Yankee Stadium.
