The population growth of Hawaiian, Asian, and Hispanic demographics in the United States has significantly increased over the past two decades. This growth has led to a shift in consumer preferences, with a greater demand for cultural cuisine. Understanding these changes is crucial as they have notably contributed to a marked acceleration in various restaurants’ sales and unit count pace.
Recently, Nations Restaurant News published an article detailing how the changing demographics were directly responsible for a substantial increase in sales of cultural cuisine. Technomic’s 2023 Top 500 list focused on such cuisine. Some restaurants included are Mo’Bettahs, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Ono Hawaiian BBQ, and Hawaiian Bros. Island Grill. By the end of 2023, Mo’Bettahs had achieved approximately $80 million in sales and had about 50 locations. This represents a growth of just over 40% in sales and just over 31% in the number of locations compared to the previous year. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue saw sales grow by almost 11% in 2023. These are just a few examples of the many successful restaurants that have capitalized on the growing Hawaiian, Asian, and Hispanic populations.
