Walgreens Maui store to be built on vacant site
Advertiser Staff
Walgreens said its planned Lahaina, Maui, store will be built on a vacant site at Honoapi'ilani Highway and Keawe Street near the Lahaina Cannery Mall.The store is designed to be 15,000 square feet with a drive-thru pharmacy, and should employ about 40 people.
The Maui store is slated to be the company's fourth in Hawai'i. Three other Walgreens stores are being developed in existing O'ahu buildings that were acquired and are being renovated — one at the former Tower Records store near Ala Moana Center, one at a former Star Market store in Kane'ohe and one at the former Kam Bowl in Kalihi.
The Ala Moana store is scheduled to open on Thursday. The three other stores are slated to open in the second half of next year. Walgreens, the nation's largest drugstore retail chain, hopes to eventually open 25 to 30 stores in Hawai'i.
