What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hawaiian Bros Island Grill's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states saw the opening of exactly one company-owned outlet in 2024. Specifically, Nebraska and Oklahoma each had one new company-owned Hawaiian Bros Island Grill location open during that year. It is important to note that these figures pertain to company-owned restaurants and exclude franchised locations or special outlets like ghost kitchens.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into the brand's expansion strategy and market penetration. The rate of new store openings in different states can indicate where Hawaiian Bros Island Grill sees the most potential for growth. It also reflects the level of corporate investment in various regions.
However, the document also indicates that some states, like Arkansas and Iowa, did not have any new company-owned outlets opened in 2024, but rather had one outlet opening in 2023. Texas had 15 outlets at the start of 2024 and opened 6 more during the year. Kansas did not have any outlets opened in 2024. This data is crucial for understanding the varying growth patterns across different markets and the strategic focus of Hawaiian Bros Island Grill's development efforts.
