Eli "The Original Beachcomber" Hedley ran his Island Trade Store on Beach Blvd in Midway City in the 1950s-1960s.

Today, the location is now home to a Jack-In-The Box fast food restaurant.

In Disneyland, Eli also ran “The Island Trade Store” gift shop in Adventureland for about a decade, which was located where the Bazaar is today.

Eli is a legend among fans of Polynesian Pop, his carvings and decor graced countless tiki bars and locations, and his shop featured tikis by other noted carvers such as Milan Guanko.

Today, Hedley's grandson, Ben Bassham (Bamboo Ben) continues the tradition.

Vintage tiki bar from the 1960s located in Kearney, Nebraska. Elevated pagoda-style with original Oceanic Arts tiki lamps. Its round layout and perch above a Ramada Inn swimming pool gives it a treehouse feel and possibly qualifies it as the coolest lifeguard tower ever built.

The bar was shut down in 2019 but opened again in November 2021.

Began as Auntie's Tiki Bar and then was taken over by new ownership and renamed Tikis Bar and Grill in January of 2020.

Tikis is a small but quaint tiki bar in the heart of Virginia Beach. They specialize in classic tiki cocktails and a Polynesian and Phillipino fusion based menu.

Situated on the famous beach paseo of Marbella, Mahiki Beach offered a unique beach club experience with its tropical restaurant, original cocktails and luxurious beach beds – all designed in a Tiki inspired theme.

In addition to this former Mahiki Beach location, there were several other Mahiki locations but they have all closed apparently, including the original London and the Manchester locations (both closed), one in Dubai (now closed), Arab Emirates (now closed), one in the Forte Village Resort in Sardinia (now closed), and a second London location (Mahiki Kensington, closed in 2019).

Bob Loo's was located in a former Howard Johnson's which was built in 1962 and closed around 1972. A steak house moved in almost immediately, but closed within a year. Then, in 1972, came Bob Loo’s, Salem’s first Chinese/Polynesian restaurant. In typical fashion, the top portion of the Howard Johnson’s cupola was removed. Likewise, the orange tile roof was replaced with a standard asphalt roof, and the trapezoid sign was taken down. Aside from these surface changes though, the building retained most of its visual lines and remained largely recognizable as a former Howard Johnson's. Bob Loo’s continued a successful operation here until late 1998, when the owners decided to retire and close the business for good.

They produced at least three collectible glasses -- a hi ball with a moai on front to serve their house Fog Cutter cocktail in, a hi ball with a Fu Manchu to serve the Dr. Funk Cocktail, and a hi ball with a Tiki Leilani on it to serve "Volcano Acid".

Robert N. Loo (Bob) passed away in 2010. He was known for this restaurant as well as the highly successful Silver Dragon Restaurant in Methuen which was started around 1962 and burned down in March of 1985.
