About Japan Born Higa Brothers
The owners of Zippy's are the Higa brothers, Francis and Charles. The brothers were born in Okinawa, Japan, and immigrated to Hawaii with their family in 1952. They opened the first Zippy's restaurant in 1966 in Kalihi, Honolulu.

The Higa brothers' background in Japan influenced the development of Zippy's menu. Many of the dishes on the menu, such as kalua pork, loco moco, and spam musubi, are popular in Hawaii and have their roots in Japanese cuisine.

In addition to their Japanese heritage, the Higa brothers were also influenced by American culture. The name "Zippy's" is a reference to the "zippy" cars that were popular in the 1960s. The brothers also wanted to create a restaurant that was casual and family-friendly, which is why Zippy's is known for its long counter service and affordable prices.

The Higa brothers are still involved in the day-to-day operations of Zippy's. Francis passed away in 1999, but his son, Jason Higa, is now the CEO of FCH Enterprises, Inc., the parent company of Zippy's. Charles is still actively involved in the business and is known for his dedication to customer service.

Zippy's is a beloved institution in Hawaii and is known for its delicious food, friendly service, and casual atmosphere. The restaurant is a testament to the Higa brothers' hard work and dedication, and it is a reminder of the Japanese influence on Hawaiian culture.
