What is excluded from the Hawaiian Bros Island Grill outlet numbers in Table No. 2?

According to the 2025 Hawaiian Bros Island Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, the numbers presented in Table No. 2, which details transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, exclude specific types of Hawaiian Bros Island Grill locations. The numbers are specifically for traditional restaurants. They do not include special outlets such as ghost kitchens and digital to-go kitchens.

This exclusion is important for prospective franchisees to understand because Table No. 2 provides data on outlet transfers. If a significant portion of Hawaiian Bros Island Grill locations are non-traditional (e.g., ghost kitchens), the transfer data in Table No. 2 may not be fully representative of the entire franchise system. Franchisees should be aware that the transfer activity of traditional restaurants may differ from that of ghost kitchens or digital to-go kitchens due to factors such as lower startup costs, different operational requirements, or varying market demand.

Therefore, when reviewing Table No. 2, prospective Hawaiian Bros Island Grill franchisees should keep in mind that the data reflects only traditional restaurants and does not provide insights into the transfer activity of the brand's special outlets. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it would be prudent to ask Hawaiian Bros Island Grill for additional information regarding the performance and transfer history of these non-traditional locations.
