Won’t you be my neighbor? As restaurant prepares to open, land is on the menu.

As Wichita’s second Hawaiian Bros nears opening — it’ll likely be the second week of August — there’s 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.

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.

However, they decided “they’re going to completely focus on Hawaiian Bros,” said Brad Saville, president and CEO of Landmark Commercial Real Estate.

He and Landmark’s 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.

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.

They’re willing to sell or lease the land.

For Hawaiian Bros, Saville said, there “was a lot of site planning involved to make it all work.”

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.

Ray noted the chain does a lot of catering, too.

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.

Hawaiian Bros specializes in the Hawaiian plate lunch — 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.

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.

Unlike farther south on Maize Road, he said this intersection isn’t quite as crowded, yet the area still has become restaurant central with Barn’rds, Dairy Queen, Sonic, Five Guys and a new McDonald’s among other restaurants nearby.

The group has 17 Hawaiian Bros sites so far.

“We’ve been . . . excited about Hawaiian Bros,” Saville said. “We’re helping them expand into several different states.”

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’re focusing on expanding in Oklahoma and Kentucky.

“These guys are really getting after it.”
