This one's a little different. The store is doing fine. It appears the landlord got a better offer. So what's being planned? That's a pretty big parcel. A big box store? Who? More retail? AMC's got a lot of space now that they opened the ewa wing. They have two largeish areas opening up. Housing? Doesn't seem like the best location. At least not for high-end development, but would probably work OK for "workforce" housing.
Good bye KMart in Waikele. Actually, KMart stores in general have turned into one of my least favorite places to shop, although they are occasionally handy as a backup in case I can't find what I want somewhere else. Their products and pricing are OK, but I often find the employees at KMart(s) are, shall I just say "less than enthusiastic and under trained", which can be a turn off to shoppers that have other choices.
Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.
Another one bites the dust. The Slipper House closed its door last week, ahead of schedule, because they sold out of merchandise. It was one of the original 80 or so Ala Moana Center tenants. As far as I can tell, there are only nine original tenants left: Dairy Queen, Watumull's, Reyn Spooner, Foodland, Longs, Territorial Savings, the U.S. Post Office, and Sears (which will close its doors tomorrow). So it goes.
Haven't been to the mall in a while. I thought the Foodland was out? Is there another one, in the new section, maybe? Getting tired of Don Quixote for my 2% milk supply

Foodland closed a while ago, but moved to a new location and re-opened a couple of weeks ago as Foodland Farms beneath Nordstrom in the new Ewa wing. It's much more than a grocery store, though. There's a lot of freshly prepared food stations, including a pizzeria, shave ice, ice cream, poke, grill, and chicken stations (rotisserie and fried), a bakery (including freshly made doughnuts), and their own Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, HI Steaks (a plate lunch place, which always seems to have long lines), a wine and craft beer bar, and much, much more. There's lots of seating and it's right across the new Shirokiya Japan Village Walk (another original tenant that moved to the Ewa wing).
