Founder's daughters revive Tropical Bungalow restaurant in Hempfield

Sydney Papinchak, 23, revived the Tropical Bungalow restaurant concept originated by her father, Tom Papinchak, in the 1990s.

Tom Papinchak said the smoothie was relatively new to Western Pennsylvania when he started selling the fruity concoction in the mid-1990s, first from a mobile thatched-roof kiosk and then at his Tropical Bungalow kiosks in Westmoreland Mall, downtown Pittsburgh and The Galleria in Johnstown.
