Hawaiian Bros: From Kansas City Roots to a Nationwide Vision
September 4, 2026


We started Hawaiian Bros in the Kansas City area with a simple idea, and today that foundation is helping us reach communities across the country. Startland News took a closer look at how our franchise strategy is shaping the next stage of Hawaiian Bros growth.
- 83 restaurants across 14 states are now part of the Hawaiian Bros footprint.
- Nearly 300 future restaurants are under development agreements across 18 states.
- Experienced multi-unit franchisees are helping us grow strategically in new and existing markets.
As we expand, we’re staying focused on a consistent guest experience, strong local partnerships and bringing the Aloha Spirit to every new community we serve.
