Lahaina Cannery is currently 130,000 SF (prior to expansion) and was originally constructed in 1987. Under the new ownership group led by U.S. Realty Partners the property will be repositioned and upgraded to become one of West Maui’s premier retail venues. Construction has commenced on the initial improvements. Safeway has executed a lease amendment to expand its store to approximately 64,500 SF which will be the largest Safeway store currently in the State of Hawai’i. Strategically located at the gateway to Lahaina at the intersection of Front Street, Kapunakea Street and Honoapiilani Highway, Lahaina Cannery is also home to a variety of local and national retailers such as Long’s Drugs (CVS), Starbucks, ABC Stores, Na Hoku, Honolua Surf Company, Hawaiian Island Creations, and Crazy Shirts to name a few. Lahaina Cannery is Maui’s only enclosed and air conditioned mall and is home to the longstanding free Hula show that is a favorite amongst visitors and locals alike.
A second phase of the development which will add new shops and restaurants is in the planning stages. The new phase will be located at the main drive aisle of Lahaina Cannery providing direct exposure to the bustling Honoapiilani Highway.
