Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kona Ice growing or shrinking?

Kona Ice doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #93 of 1,075 Restaurants & Food brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Kona Ice franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $247K (41% below the typical Restaurants & Food brand's $419K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Kona Ice?

0 of 26 SBA loans to Kona Ice franchisees (0.0%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 1.3% across all Restaurants & Food brands.
