Hawaiian Bros Signs 8-Unit Deal in Greater Louisville Market

Hawaiian Bros Island Grill, the fast-growing, island-inspired brand known for its Hawaiian plate lunch, has announced the continued growth of its franchise footprint through an eight-unit development deal for the greater Louisville market with an experienced restaurant franchise operator group.

The Louisville development is led by an experienced operator group that brings more than 20 years of restaurant operations experience running other brands in the Louisville market, along with deep development expertise that will be instrumental in growing the brand across the region. Backed by strong operational expertise and a shared commitment to Hawaiian Bros’ values, this new development agreement reflects the group’s confidence in the brand and business model.

The agreement follows recent Hawaiian Bros franchise deals in Kentucky for the Lexington and Bowling Green markets, marking another milestone in Hawaiian Bros’ growth throughout the Southeast.

“We’re thrilled to be entering Kentucky with talented operator groups who will grow the brand to key regions with strong population densities,” said Shannon Scott, Chief Marketing Officer at Hawaiian Bros. “The franchise group behind this development possesses fantastic operations experience and the know-how to build strong teams, which will help drive restaurant performance and establish guest loyalty. With its vibrant business community and dynamic restaurant scene, Louisville is a natural fit for our brand’s Aloha spirit.”

The Hawaiian Bros franchise opportunity is designed for seasoned operators with significant infrastructure in place to develop and operate multiple locations. The brand’s ideal franchisees are established multi-unit owners with at least 10 years of experienceoperating restaurant brands. Hawaiian Bros consistently attracts groups eager to diversify their portfolios and join a unique, fast-growing, high-demand concept.

Hawaiian Bros is known for its island-inspired plate lunch, which offers a variety of juicy chicken or pork glazed with sweet, savory or spicy sauces, macaroni salad, fluffy steamed white rice, vegetables and tropical Dole Soft Serve. With a commitment to avoiding fryers, microwaves and freezers, all menu items are prepared fresh in house with high-quality ingredients. The brand welcomes every guest with a friendly “Aloha” and remains dedicated to causes tied to Hawaiian culture and sustainability.
