What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hawaiian Bros Island Grill Franchise Disclosure Document, the length of the Development Agreement term is based on the time required to open the number of franchise locations the developer agrees to develop, according to the development schedule. The expiration date of the Development Agreement will be printed on the signature page of the Development Agreement.
This means that the more Hawaiian Bros Island Grill locations a developer commits to opening, and the faster they agree to open them, the longer the term of their Development Agreement will be. This incentivizes developers to commit to a larger, more aggressive expansion plan.
However, Hawaiian Bros Island Grill also offers some flexibility. Developers can request an extension of the Development Period End Date if they experience delays beyond their control in opening a location by such date. This acknowledges that unforeseen circumstances can impact development timelines and provides a mechanism for developers to adjust their schedules accordingly.
