Kukui Grove is an open-air shopping center located in Lihue, Hawaii, United States. It is Kauai's largest mall and only regional mall. This shopping mall features over 55 shops and restaurants, with Ross Dress for Less, Times Supermarkets, Longs Drugs, and Target as its anchors. The mall is located at 3–2600 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI and is managed by The Festival Companies.
Retail Mix and Changes
[edit]This mall's Macy's store was formerly Liberty House. The mall had two separate Sears stores that both closed in 2013. One of them was originally an F. W. Woolworth Company store.[2] A year later, one became Ross Dress For Less and the other became Sports Authority.[3] On July 28, 2016, The Sports Authority closed due to bankruptcy. In September 2018, Kmart closed. The Kmart store on Kauai was the last one remaining in Hawaii. Target opened a Kauai store on October 19, 2021, which is located in the former Kmart building, occupying approximately 122,000 square feet.[4]
On January 18, 2024, it was announced that Macy's would be closing as part of a plan to close five stores in the United States.[5]
New Store Dilemmas
[edit]In late May 2025, the former Macy's Women's & Children's building roof was painted green. A rumor suggests that Foodland may be coming to the center. No confirmation by the mall or company has been provided as of June 2.
