Hawaiian Bros Expansion in Arizona, Texas

Stine Enterprises Ignites Southwest Expansion with Opening of
Two New Hawaiian Bros Locations in Arizona and Texas 

Hawaiian Bros’ Multi-Unit Franchisee Opens Locations in Phoenix and Lubbock 

KANSAS CITY, Mo (June 27, 2024) – Hawaiian Bros is debuting two new island-inspired franchise locations in Phoenix, Arizona and Lubbock, Texas. These are the newest locations to be opened by Stine Enterprises under their recent franchisee agreement. 

To celebrate, Hawaiian Bros is hosting a grand opening celebration at its new location in Lubbock, Texas (5501 Slide Road) on Monday, July 1 at 11 a.m. At the grand opening the first 100 customers in line will receive a free t-shirt and a Hawaiian Bros gift card ranging from $25-$500 (with purchase), and one lucky winner will win Hawaiian Bros for a year. After the grand opening, the Lubbock location will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily.   

Hawaiian Bros will also host VIP events on 6/29 and 6/30 at 11am–2pm and 5pm–8pm. First responders, medical personnel, academic staff, students and local business employees will be treated to a free classic plate lunch.    

Hawaiian Bros recently hosted a grand opening event on Monday, June 24 for the Phoenix, Arizona location (236 E. Bell Rd). The store is now open every day from 10 a.m. – 3 a.m. 

“Texas and Arizona have been ideal states to expand the Hawaiian Bros brand,” said Adam Stine, President and Owner of Stine Enterprises. “We’re excited to not only add another brick-and-mortar location in Phoenix, but to continue our expansion into West Texas. The demand for Hawaiian Bros locations is rapidly growing and we’re so excited to bring this island-inspired, unique cuisine to the southwest.” 

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, a bed of fluffy steamed white rice or vegetables; and for dessert, a smooth and tropical Dole Soft Serve®. Void of freezers, fryers, or microwaves, the simple menu is prepared with the highest quality, freshest ingredients – unlike any fast-casual restaurant in the area.
