Rainbow Drive-In closed for repairs

By Catherine E. Toth
Advertiser Staff Writer

Rainbow Drive-In on Kapahulu Avenue will close today for repairs and maintenance. It will re-open tentatively on Dec. 11.

While its exterior won't change much, the 45-year-old restaurant will undergo major work on the wiring, floors and roof.

During the closure, owner Jim Gusukuma is treating about 35 staffers to a week in Las Vegas.

The last time the restaurant shut down for repairs for this long was about nine years ago.

"When it re-opens (next month), it will be brighter," Gusukuma said. "But it will be the same ol' Rainbows."
