Business briefs: Maui Divers adding five new stores

Advertiser Staff

Maui Divers Jewelry is expanding with five more Hawai'i stores over the next few months to give the company 65 retail outlets.

A store at Honolulu International Airport opened Sept. 1, and is to be followed by stores at International Marketplace in Waikiki and Queen Ka'ahumanu Center on Maui next month.

Two more, including one Island Pearls shop, are slated to open in December at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Walk project.

2,100 acres of Wahiawa agricultural land up for sale

A land-owning trust scheduled to terminate next year is putting 2,100 acres of Wahiawa agricultural land up for sale.

The George Galbraith Trust under direction of trustee Bank of Hawaii has retained real estate firms Cushman & Wakefield and Sofos Realty Corp. to market the property without an asking price.

Most of the land was formerly leased to Del Monte for pineapple production. The property for sale excludes an old pineapple plantation residential area called Poamoho Camp, which a local developer bought last year with a plan to sell homes to existing tenants.
