Did you know? In 1966, brothers Francis and Charlie Higa named their restaurant “Zippy’s” in honor of a recently introduced invention — the zip code — to connote that their food wasn’t only tasty, but also served quickly and efficiently. Over 53 years later, Zippy's has become a household name with 24 locations statewide, 1,700 employees and a casual, family-friendly atmosphere.

Ask anyone in Hawaii about Zippy’s Restaurants, and you will hear real stories about cherished weekly dinners with grandparents, post-surf session munchies satiated, romances won and lost at the restaurant, and the iconic Zippy's food that helped them to celebrate it all.
