What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were four Chick-fil-A restaurants operating in Hawaii at the end of 2023. The provided table details the status of franchise outlets from 2022 to 2024, showing the number of outlets at the start of each year, the number opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
In 2022, Chick Fil A opened two restaurants in Hawaii, bringing the total to two by the end of the year. In 2023, two more restaurants were opened, resulting in a total of four operating restaurants in Hawaii at the end of that year. In 2024, no additional restaurants were opened, so the number remained at four.
For a prospective franchisee, this information indicates the growth and current presence of Chick Fil A in Hawaii. It shows that Chick Fil A has been expanding its operations in the state, with new locations opening in both 2022 and 2023. However, the lack of new openings in 2024 might suggest a change in strategy or market saturation, which a potential franchisee should investigate further to understand the opportunities and challenges in the Hawaiian market.
