Continuing this exploration of last year’s PPP windfall, the first round of PPP loans. There was a second round this year, which most of these businesses likely took advantage of as well. But that’s another story.

The “Full-service restaurant” category ranked #1 among all industries in the total amount of PPP loans made in Hawaii.

I decided to combine that with a couple of other restaurant categories to include “limited service restaurants” and also cafeterias, grills, and buffets. That pretty much covers the restaurant category, I think.

This list is very top heavy. A total of $254,960,620 in loans was made to 1,834 businesses in these categories.

There were 33 that received loans of more than $1 million. This group made up just 1.8 percent of all the restaurants that obtained PPP loans.

But that 1.8% of the recipients raked in 26.5% of the total loan value.

The full list of all 1,834 businesses in the various restaurant categories can be found here.
