Zippy’s, the Hawaiian diner known for its chili, Zip Pacs and malasadas, is planting a flag in North Las Vegas. The chain’s newest restaurant at 5485 Camino Al Norte will host its grand opening at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19. It will be the latest Las Vegas-area outpost and the first in the valley to feature a prepaid order pickup lane. Takeout is scheduled to run from 6 a.m. to midnight, with dine-in service from 7 a.m. to midnight.
Opening day and what to expect
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Camino Al Norte location will open with a full bakery, a dine-in room and beefed-up takeout operations aimed squarely at morning commuters and late-night diners. The Review-Journal reports that the prepaid pickup lane is designed to speed orders and ease parking headaches on busy days.
Where it fits in the Ninth Island
Zippy’s first mainland store landed in Las Vegas in October 2023 and drew long lines and plenty of local buzz, according to Eater Vegas. The chain has not slowed down since. The company has announced two more sites, including Camino Al Norte and a Summerlin location, as part of plans that will bring the brand to five stores in the region, per Aloha State Daily.
Jobs and neighborhood impact
Hiring listings tied to the Camino Al Norte build-out list the North Las Vegas address and multiple openings for cooks, cashiers and managers, with positions posted on sites such as Indeed. Online neighborhood chatter shows residents trading tips about the new spot and plotting breakfast runs and late-night plate-lunch missions, with locals saying another nearby option is overdue on the north side of the valley.
Expect a busy opening weekend. Previous Zippy’s debuts in Las Vegas have drawn long lines, and the Camino Al Norte restaurant’s prepaid lane and extended hours are clearly set up to keep crowds moving. For the latest on hours, hiring and the grand-opening schedule, keep an eye on the chain’s announcements and local coverage as Tuesday approaches.
