Support Ni Armor: Keep Hawaiian Flavors Alive

Be a part of keeping the first Ni Armor Hawaiian BBQ location stay in Burlington: Where people gather, connect, and savor delicious flavor.

Our goal is to continue to share authentic Hawaiian Polynesian cuisine by bringing people through enjoying the mouthwatering meals that satisfy cravings of the Burlington community and to continue to provide a taste of joyful eating in a family-friendly dining atmosphere that brings people together.

In 2022, Ni Armor's Hawaiian & Polynesian BBQ was born, being part of local eateries. As owners we knew that we needed to start somewhere. Fortunately, we were able to find a tiny 900 ft stall in the Burlington Food Hall and knew that this affordable space will help us share delicious signature dishes and BBQ sauces.

We always dream of opening up a restaurant. But after 5 years of relocating our family to North Carolina from Alaska our journey was a bit of a rough ride. We had to start all over again to pursue our dream of promoting our gourmet sauces. With limited to no working capital at all, that didn't stop us. We both believe in our products and took a leap of faith that this tiny stall will not only help us promote Ni Armor as a brand but help us introduce authentic Hawaiian flavors to the community. We've strived not only to tantalize taste buds but to foster community ties.

Ni Armor's Hawaiian & Polynesian BBQ isn't just about enjoying island flavors, it's a testament to familial bonds, spreading the "Aloha" spirit, and the resilience of pursuing dreams against all odds. With your help/donation it will help us quickly complete indoor kitchen, dining area & bar renovations, buy more equipment for the new storefront restaurant located at the Huffman Mill Plaza in Burlington. Here we will continue to chase our dream of expanding, sharing authentic Hawaiian meals and drinks experience with the Alamance community.

After moving out from the Burlington Food Hall in 2023, to open our second location in Pittsboro (just 15 min away from our home in Chapel Hill) our hearts felt a big void. We knew that closing the doors for good in the community that helped us get to where we are now was down hearted and we didn't want to cause tremendous disappointments from our loyal customers that supported us throughout the years. Therefore, we decided to try to open 2 locations even

though we knew that down the road this will put a toll on our finances. After many attempts to try to get a loan from the bank, the banks kept on turning us down. We knew that there's nowhere else to turn to for financial funds to help keep our Burlington location. To help open up our Burlington location, the only people we rely on is you! The people we love serving. Help us meet our deadline. We're aiming to raise funds 30-60 days or sooner so we can open ASAP. We sincerely need your support! Please help Ni Armor stay open in Burlington.

With your support, together we can all make this happen!

Mahalo,

Solo & Kaylene
