Shave Ice comes to Douglas County!
Wailani Shave Ice opened in May of 2021 at Stewart Park in Roseburg, Oregon with a huge following and continued that following to the end of Season. In May 2022, Wailani Shave Ice expanded to include a brick-and-mortar location and Island Grindz food truck to accompany the mobile shave ice trailer.
Wailani shave ice was founded by Lan Ha with the help of many friends and family. Lan brought with her over 15 years of food industry experience after graduating from Oregon State University. Lan has always had a passion and love for Asian desserts. After a trip to Hawai'i, Lan fell in love with shave ice and the culture behind it. Lan set out to make her dream of operating a shave ice business into reality. Lan, along with her husband, Ryan, and their son, Kellan, moved back to Douglas County to be closer with family and spread the joy of shave ice with everyone.
In 2022, Tim and Anela Plunkett officially joined as additional partners/owners of Wailani shave ice. The Plunkett family were instrumental in the formation of Wailani and became good friends with both Lan and Ryan through their shared passion for family, community, good food and a love of shave ice! Both Tim and Anela Plunkett were born and raised in Hawai’i. The Plunkett family moved from the North Shore of O’ahu in 2016 and have grown roots here in Douglas County. Tim played music professionally and is currently a first responder. Anela graduated from Pacific University and Lewis & Clark here in Oregon before becoming an educator. The couple has three children together who keep them busy and serve as a constant reminder of what’s important in life. We are extremely blessed to have the Plunkett family become a part of the Wailani Ohana (family).
