The owner of the 76 gas and service station in the 'Aina Haina shopping center said it has renewed its lease and is moving ahead with renovation plans.

The station, owned by Mid Pac Petroleum and operated by Chad and Jen Willing, signed a 20-year lease with center owner, American Commercial Equities LLC. The gas station has been at the site for more than 50 years.

To mark the occasion, 76 will discount the price of all grades of gasoline from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday.

Along with the new lease, the 76 station will undergo a renovation to coincide with planned upgrades at the shopping center. Mid Pac Petroleum will replace all of the fuel tanks and product lines at the station. The station's exterior will also receive a major face-lift that includes a new roof fascia and color scheme.

Hawaii Healthcare Professionals Inc., a home care company, said it will start offering a "tele-home" service for patients on Kaua'i, O'ahu and Maui.

Doctors and nurses will receive the information over a phone line or wireless device and use the data to catch early signs of trouble.
