Wal-Mart has proposed establishing its first store in Hawai'i with a full-line supermarket by expanding its existing Kaua'i store.
The world's largest retailer said it has no immediate plans to convert any other Hawai'i Wal-Marts to its Supercenter format. But the Kaua'i site will be a test to see whether the chain can establish a food vendor base to support the format in this geographically isolated state.
"We have to learn how to do fresh food (in Hawai'i)," said Chris Danos, a Wal-Mart real estate manager. "It's a test."
