February 06, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // GLENWOOD, Ill. – Hawaiian Bros is opening its first island-inspired location in Glenwood, Ill. The Feb. 16 opening marks an exciting moment for the brand as it continues to expand in the state.

To celebrate, Hawaiian Bros is hosting a grand opening celebration at their new location in the Glenwood area on Feb. 16 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.

Hawaiian Bros will also host VIP events on Feb. 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. First responders, medical personnel, academic staff, students, and local business employees will be treated to a free classic Plate Lunch.

“We’re looking forward to expanding the Aloha Spirit further into Chicagoland,” said David Griffiths, VP of Operations for a multi-unit Hawaiian Bros franchisee. “We truly cannot wait to expand the ‘Ohana and bring even more island-inspired flavors to the community.”

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®. Never relying on freezers or microwaves, the simple menu is prepared with the highest quality, freshest ingredients – unlike any fast-casual restaurant in the area.
