A popular national restaurant specializing in Hawaiian cuisine is making plans to build a new location in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The Hawaiian Brothers restaurant will go up on the north end of the city at the intersection of Shea Boulevard and 89th Place and, according to reports, will measure around 2,900 square feet.
Members of the Scottsdale Development Review Board have given their approval to site and landscape plans for the project, which will include kitchen and dining space, as well as a drive-in service.
The building will be two stories with a tan, brown, and aqua-colored exterior finish.
In order to launch construction, an existing 6,300-square-foot Red Robin restaurant, which was built in 1995 and has been closed for the last several years, will be demolished.
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the Hawaiian Brothers chain was established in 2018 and to date has more than 40 locations nationally. Annual sales for the company have jumped from $20 million in 2020 to more than $115 million as of last year.
Everything on the a Hawaiian Brothers menu is a “combination of sweet and something,” the publication In Kansas City recently noted, “sweet and spicy, sweet and savory, sweet and sweet.”
On average, the company’s stores measure anywhere between 2,800 and 4,400 square feet, with airy interior space emphasizing Hawaiian-inspired wall graphics, an ocean blue color palette, and natural wood.
