Islands Restaurants enters Colo. market
The chain, whose restaurants specialize in cooked-to-order burgers and a tropical atmosphere, recently opened one of its Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks locations at the new Twenty Ninth Street retail center in Boulder. The 5,800-square-foot dining spot at 1855 29th St. seats 114 people.
The company also has found a site in Westminster, and plans to open that restaurant in late 2007.
"The Islands concept fits well in Colorado. ... We are actively looking for locations for additional restaurants," chain President Doug Kollus said in a statement.
The company isn't naming other prospective Colorado locations yet.
Based in Carlsbad, Calif., Islands Restaurants has a total of 59 restaurants in California, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii and now Colorado. The privately held company had $155 million in sales last year, with average per-store sales of more than $3.2 million.
Menu items range from specialty burgers and other sandwiches to soft tacos, salads and smoothies.
Islands Restaurants CEO Tony DeGrazier, who launched the company in 1982, hit on the tropical theme for his restaurants while serving in the Navy on the Hawaiian island of Oahu in the 1960s. Islands' tiki-inspired decor includes thatched roofs, surfboard tabletops and umbrellas made of palm fronds.
The kid's menu features beach-oriented offerings such as the Sandcastle (grilled-cheese sandwich) and Jr. Wave Burger. The chain also includes Hawaiian-style Aloha shirts among its merchandise.
