What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hawaiian Bros Island Grill had a total of 32 outlets operating at the start of 2023. This number includes both franchised and company-owned restaurants.
Specifically, the FDD indicates that at the beginning of 2023, none of the Hawaiian Bros Island Grill restaurants were franchised, and 32 were company-owned. This means that all 32 restaurants open at the start of 2023 were operated by the company itself, rather than by franchisees.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the growth and development of Hawaiian Bros Island Grill. Reviewing the number of company-owned versus franchised locations can provide insight into the company's expansion strategy and its emphasis on either company-operated or franchised growth.
