The Konala Story
Konala (Pronounced: Koe-Nah-Luh) was founded in 2023 with a mission to make healthy food as delicious and convenient as possible. Founders are Trace Miller and his wife Jammie Miller, and the business is named after their two rescued dogs “Kona” and “Nala”.
With a passion for fitness and healthy lifestyle, they realized there are such few options for healthy fast food. Konala aims to change that one location at a time with their convenient drive thru only model.
Konala’s food is a lot like healthy meal prep foods. However instead of bland frozen food thrown in the microwave, they have flavorful food made fresh throughout the day. It has never been easier or more delicious to eat well and feel good.
