You’re wandering through the airport and your heart stops when you spot a Macy’s shopping bag. Did the denizen of old New York open at Ala Moana in your absence? No (sigh). It’s merely a souvenir of someone else’s trip.

Retailers, restaurants, links in the chain franchises - let us know what’s on your list of stores you wish would come to Hawai‘i. We’ve got our list, and want to know what tops yours. Then we’ll try and find out what our chances are for seeing these businesses here.
