The west-side Hawaiian Bros will open the second week of August, and partners in the business also are on the hunt for a neighbor to buy or lease just over an acre next to the restaurant.<\/p>\n

As Wichita\u2019s second Hawaiian Bros nears opening \u2014 it\u2019ll likely be the second week of August \u2014 there\u2019s an opportunity for another restaurant, business or even a small strip center to locate next to it near the popular 37th North and Maize Road intersection.<\/p>\n
Originally, the Ohana Restaurant Group partners in this Hawaiian Bros, all of whom are west-siders, had intended to bring another concept to the acreage next to the new restaurant.<\/p>\n
However, they decided \u201cthey\u2019re going to completely focus on Hawaiian Bros,\u201d said Brad Saville, president and CEO of Landmark Commercial Real Estate.<\/p>\n
He and Landmark\u2019s Andrea Ray are helping the partners expand the Hawaiian Bros concept but now also are helping them market the 1.24 acres east of the restaurant.<\/p>\n
Saville said another quick-serve restaurant would make sense, but the partners are open to a bank or credit union, too, or even a small strip center.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re willing to sell or lease the land.<\/p>\n
For Hawaiian Bros, Saville said, there \u201cwas a lot of site planning involved to make it all work.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to a traditional drive-through lane, the restaurant will have an additional drive-through exclusively for delivery services such as Uber Eats and Grubhub to use.<\/p>\n
Ray noted the chain does a lot of catering, too.<\/p>\n
Hawaiian Bros is in about 2,400 square feet, which is just a bit smaller than the one that opened at the Plazzio development at 13th and Greenwich in late 2024.<\/p>\n
Hawaiian Bros specializes in the Hawaiian plate lunch \u2014 a staple in Hawaii that is most often found on roadside stands or hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Plate lunches typically come with different types of protein, a serving of mayo-based macaroni salad, and two scoops of white rice.<\/p>\n
Saville said his team showed the partners a number of prominent corners on the west side, and this one was the right one for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n
Unlike farther south on Maize Road, he said this intersection isn\u2019t quite as crowded, yet the area still has become restaurant central with Barn\u2019rds, Dairy Queen, Sonic, Five Guys and a new McDonald\u2019s among other restaurants nearby.<\/p>\n
The group has 17 Hawaiian Bros sites so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been . . . excited about Hawaiian Bros,\u201d Saville said. \u201cWe\u2019re helping them expand into several different states.\u201d<\/p>\n
The partners may one day come back with a third Wichita-area restaurant with a possible Hawaiian Bros for Derby, but for now Saville said they\u2019re focusing on expanding in Oklahoma and Kentucky.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese guys are really getting after it.\u201d<\/p>\n
