Mahi Mahi
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Built in 1968-1969.
Mahi Mahi had decor from Oceanic Arts, including an unusual item -- an Oceanic Arts-designed mug of their signature logo. Mahi Mahi was later purchased by Jim Walls in 1970. Jim was owner of the nearby Omni Hut, which closed in 2018.
Walls brought in Eli Hedley from California. Hedley is quoted, saying: "In 1971 I remade the Mahi-Mahi in Nashville with unlimited funds, which is how I like to work."
Whether it was the extravagant re-build or other expenses, however, the Mahi Mahi's day's were numbered.
Walls also took on the Mahi Mahi's debt, and despite efforts to improve the menu, the new Mahi Mahi closed after just a year. The Mahi Mahi later became Blue Hawaii. The building, which had an unusual wide A-frame, has been torn down.
