Deer Flat Road — the 10th Idaho location for the Utah-based brand. “Kuna is a close-knit town, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone in, pass around the plates and bring a little more ‘ohana to the neighborhood,” Kimo Mack, cofounder of Mo’ Bettahs, said in a prepared statement. To mark the occasion, Mo’ Bettahs will host its traditional store-opening sneak peek on Thursday — aka the “Friends and ‘Ohana” celebration. Customers will be treated to a free lunchtime mini-plate and drink from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mo’ Bettahs will hold a ribbon-cutting at 4:30 p.m., then a party from 5 to 7 p.m. featuring samples, merchandise and a photo booth, according to a press release. Kuna is a growing Boise suburb — the 11th-fastest-growing city or town in America, according to recent census data . National brands have noticed. Mo’ Bettahs is just the latest chain restaurant to expand into the former farm town. Others that have appeared in the past year or so include Jimmy John’s, Wingstop
