Re: Daiei --> Don Quijote
Neat citation, there!
I was recently in a class with a guy who was miffed about the changeover. He was bummed that the receipts already say "Don Quijote" instead of Daiei. He wasn't even born and raised here, but he felt there was a local affection and loyalty for the Daiei name that would probably hurt business after the conversion.
That's not to say that location couldn't use some sprucing up. Just how different it will be is the question.
I guess Don Quijote is a familiar brand in Japan, so I guess the store near Ala Moana will draw a good crowd of Japanese tourists. But what the new name will do to local traffic I'm not sure. I know area residents like the grocery there, but there's a new market coming in a block away that might carry just as much, if not more, local appeal.
