How a pipe-dream becomes a soulful reality & 40years of business ... A deeply personal interview with Ed Thielk, the founder of Mana Foods

“At the end of the day you need to ask yourself where is your life going? What do you want, and what do you need to make that happen?” -Ed Thielk
Mana Foods opened in 1983 and “back then it was this half-ass, half-renovated building that I rented for $160 per month.” -Thielk
Located in the same place Mana Foods is today, the initial space measured a mere 400-sq-ft, boasted a worn out cement floor, and an awkward accordion door. It lacked basic organization and aesthetic appeal, and seemed to have all odds against its survival. But, as irony would have it, this was the start of something very big.

Maui Chili Chili Oil... A local couple and their local product!
“It was because they said so” - that was the real reason why Deron and Kit got into the chili oil business during the pandemic. The Wailuku husband-and-wife team seemed to accidentally fill a void in the food scene on Maui when their family and friends encouraged them to sell bottles of their own chili oil. The unexpected success encouraged both to expand, and now they’re answering the challenge to produce more to meet the demand. Here is a bit about their story and their local product!
