Expansion
Earls is currently in a phase of expansion, notably in U.S. markets and prominent destinations. Earls highlights, "With the opening of two incredible locations in Florida, Waikiki (opened October 2025), Nashville (opening Spring 2026), and we couldn’t be happier to bring a third Earls location to Boston (early 2027[1])." The company describes its approach as “unchaining the chain,” focusing on creating a collection of individually designed restaurants, each tailored to its local community.
Earls plans further expansion across North America, with Nashville projected to open in Spring 2026 and Boston in early 2027 with more announcements expected soon.
Recognition
The brand's South Florida locations are recognized by OpenTable as among the top ten most booked restaurants in Miami and Fort Lauderdale (2025[2]).
Stanley Fuller has received several industry honors, including Business in Vancouver’s BC CEO of the Year (2019[3]) and inclusion in Vancouver Magazine’s Power 50 Hall of Fame (2024[4]). Bus Fuller (1928–2019) and Stan Fuller were jointly inducted into the Business Laureates of British Columbia Hall of Fame (2025[5]).
