About Beach Hut Deli

In 1981, Troy Feist created a food service concept that his  friends would enjoy.  Troy’s vision was to develop a restaurant with a beach resort culture. He wanted to serve great food and craft beers on draft while listening to music he loved. Now, for over 35 years, Beach Hut Deli has been serving unique salads, amazing sandwiches and craft beers in an unique environment. Our strategy for growth is to expand with qualified franchisees we support as owners in the Beach Hut Deli Ohana.

The initial Franchisee Fee is $35,000 for first time purchasers, $19,000 for existing BEACH HUT DELI franchisees purchasing an additional traditional, stand-alone franchise, $20,000 for Ohana Applicants, and, $7,500 for an existing Beach Hut Deli franchisee purchasing an express franchise location.
