What is the phone number provided for the Securities Compliance Branch related to Bonchon franchises in Hawaii?

According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, no phone number is listed for the Commissioner of Securities of the State of Hawaii, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Business Registration Division, Securities Compliance Branch. The address provided is 335 Merchant Street, Room 203 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813.

Prospective franchisees in Hawaii should note the absence of a phone number in the FDD. If they need to contact the Securities Compliance Branch, they may need to find the phone number through other sources, such as the Hawaii state government website, or contact Bonchon directly for assistance.

It is common practice for FDDs to list contact information for state agencies responsible for franchise regulation. The omission of a phone number is not necessarily a cause for concern, but it does place the onus on the prospective franchisee to obtain this information independently. This may add an extra step to the due diligence process.

Franchisees should verify the most current contact information before sending any official correspondence.
