Advertiser Staff and News Services
Territorial Savings Bank plans to open three branches this year: in Kapolei by March, Kahala in April and Waipi'o Gentry by December.
The fifth largest financial institution in Hawai'i will have a total of 23 branches and is scouting for more locations in the Neighbor Islands. Territorial also reported earnings of $15.2 million in 2004 compared with $14.5 million a year ago. Total assets were $1.2 billion, up from $1 billion from the previous year.
Livestock producers in Hawai'i and six other Western states have launched a pilot program to track their animals from birth to death, part of a move to safeguard consumers and herds from mad cow disease.
The Northwest Pilot Project hopes to find workable and cost-effective tracking systems in Hawai'i, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Utah, and Nevada, said coordinator Julie Morrison of the Idaho Cattle Association.
Junior Achievement has announced the 2005 Hawaii Business Hall of Fame Laureates: Robin K. Campaniano and Masaru "Pundy" Yokouchi. The two were recognized for their lifelong accomplishments and contributions to the state's business development and community enrichment.
They join the roster of 56 previous honorees since the Hawaii Business Hall of Fame's inception in 1990.
