Ono Hawaiian BBQ is planning its first Clovis location.
The quick-service restaurant has signed a lease to move into The Trading Post shopping center, anchored by Sprouts, at Clovis and Herndon and avenues. It’s taking over the space on the end once occupied by Rubio’s Coastal Grill and before that, the second location of Hunan Chinese restaurant.
Work has already started on the spot. The restaurant is expected to open mid-year, according to a Ono Hawaiian BBQ representative.
The restaurant serves Hawaiian barbecue chicken, teriyaki chicken, beef, fish and pork, with rice and salad. It also has Spam musubi, the Hawaiian favorite made from slices of Spam served on rice and wrapped in seaweed.
It will be the third Ono Hawaiian BBQ in the area. Three others are in Fresno — in the shopping center at Friant Road and Fresno Street, in front of the Walmart on Cesar Chavez Boulevard, and on West Shaw Avenue.
Unlike some of the other locations, the Clovis spot will not have a drive-thru. The existing space does not have one.
The Rubio’s that used to be in the building closed in May 2024, with employees telling customers it was closing because of the recently passed law mandating a $20 an hour minimum wage at fast-food restaurants.
