Since 2007, their restaurant group has been operating quick-service restaurants in the franchise space and operates 73 stores in Texas, Nevada, and Utah. The group has been awarded Franchise of the Year for their Jack in the Box and Golden Chick locations and all of their units in each concept average significantly higher than average unit volumes for each system.

"We're thrilled to be a part of Hawaiian Bros with multiple building formats that help us grow in San Antonio, as it's truly a strong market poised for future growth."

The fast-casual brand is dedicated to upholding its brand values and is careful in selecting franchisees who align with the 'ohana culture and Aloha Spirit, which emphasizes kindness and treating everyone like family.

"Rock Hawaiian is an excellent match for Hawaiian Bros franchise growth, bringing nearly 20 years of development and operations experience to the San Antonio market," said Grant Kreutzer, Vice President of Franchise Development.
