Heard Mike Buck talking about how Star Markets is closing its Kaneohe store, quoting The Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Stefany Sophos is quoted as saying that it's a location that Walgreens could move into. Buck said he suspects those 41 people will have no trouble landing new jobs.

Re: Star Market shutting down Kaneohe store
Yes, the Star-Bulletin got the story yesterday and published it in this morning's edition
The Advertiser apparently picked it up from the Star-Bulletin later this morning and posted it as a five-line "Breaking News" item on their website this afternoon.
Better late than never, I guess.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: Star Market shutting down Kaneohe store
They are closing the Kahala Mall store as well so that will be Walgreens as many of us didn't think Tower Records would become Walgreens in its odd location.
I live across the street from Star in Kalihi at Kam Shopping Center, it has been there for 35 plus years and I would not be surprised if it gets sold, but not to Walgreens as it would be foolish to compete with Longs in the same shopping center.
Our Star looks run down, even a makeover a few years ago hasnt changed its perception. With Foodlands closeby in Liliha and Dillingham I wonder what would replace it???

Re: Star Market shutting down Kaneohe store
Well Walgreens is obviously not shy about competing with Longs at Kahala Mall, but to further my statement I can't imagine Walgreens moving into Kam Shopping Center in Kalihi as well as they would literally face each other and we would be without an anchor grocery store so to speak. But stranger things have and can happened. With Star Markets now dwindling it seems they may be fazing out of the grocery business or Walgreens is being very agressive in its initial attempt to open in Hawaii.

Re: Star Market shutting down Kaneohe store
They really updated and renovated the Times on Beretania recently, however the Kahala Times looks very old and ripe to be replaced as well unless they renovate over there as well. I guess Safeway at Hawaii Kai would be the closest grocery if Times falls as well or the new Safeway on Kapahulu.

Re: Star Market shutting down Kaneohe store
The Star Market on Beretania also did a major renovation a year ago I think they are in a good location and should be safe, however the Times on Beretania near Longs would be ripe for yet another Walgreens takeover I bet.
Walgreens would be in a perfect location if they could secure the Waikiki Food Pantry.
Sounds like Walgreens is being very agressive instead of just getting their feet wet by testing the waters and opening up a single store at Ala Moana, does anyone agree?
