What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hawaiian Bros Island Grill FDD, HBGC, LLC, is the affiliate that operates the Hawaiian Bros Island Grill gift card program. HBGC, a Florida limited liability company, provides gift card services to both franchised and company-owned Hawaiian Bros Island Grill restaurants. HBGC's principal place of business is located at 720 Main Street, Kansas City, MO 64105.
It is important to note that HBGC has not operated the same type of business that a Hawaiian Bros Island Grill franchisee would operate. This means that while HBGC manages the gift card program, it does not have direct experience running a Hawaiian Bros Island Grill restaurant.
Prospective franchisees should consider the role of HBGC in the overall franchise system and how the gift card program might impact their restaurant's operations and revenue. Understanding the terms and conditions of the gift card program, as well as any fees or obligations associated with it, is crucial for franchisees to effectively manage this aspect of their business.
