    My cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii stopped at the cruise terminal in Kahului. There is a walk…read morepath from the dock to the street lights of Maui Mall Village. It is walkable and about 15 minutes. A cab was $20 for two and an uber for 6 would have been $21 with a tip. The ladies in my party went to Longs to find deals on cookies, candies and nuts. It was a bit crowded in the store but other customers were friendly. There was also a TJ Maxx. It was pretty clean. There were a few eateries, a movie theater, and a few other miscellaneous shops in this mall. Close by was a Ross and a Walmart. I heard a lot of the crew went to Walmart. It was nice to take a trip off the ship and walk thru this mall.

It is anchored by a Whole Foods, TJ Maxx, Longs Drugs, and a 12 screen cinema complex. It also has an Avis-Budget office, which didn't initially appear on my list of possible rental car agencies. It could be an option for car rental, if coming from a cruise ship. There are shaded places to sit in the main courtyard, so we ended up staying there a bit before moving on. There is supposed to be free Wi-Fi, which we tried to use after giving our email address, but it didn't work

    This is an older shopping center. Its been around for years. Its kinda been happening lately with…read morethe Sunday market that happens here every Sunday from 4pm til 8 pm. They have foods trucks and vendors tho do some shopping from. We usually go to the mail salon here, the Japanese restaurant Ichiban and sushi and the grocery store. They have another restaurant also Asian cuisine too. They have a burger king here tho. This place does get busy at times.

    This is the grandfather of shopping centers on Maui which opened in 1951, and is pretty sizable in…read moreland at just under 17 acres. In its heyday, it was a bustling commerce & hangout spot, a favorite of senior citizens in the later part, who'd talk story, and play cards and board games under the shade of the monkeypod trees. It has since halfway burnt down and never rebuilt. The look is old and dreary. It still houses several businesses, including medical, finance, restaurants, new car inventory parking, and even a church. Parking is plentiful and vehicular access is super easy. TIP: They have a really nice farmer's market, usually on Wednesdays and Fridays. HIGHLIGHTS: - Bistro Casanova - Burger King - Central Pacific Bank - Ichiban Restaurant - Maui Style Market (formerly Ah Fook's) OVERALL: Word is that the whole complex will be leveled and rebuilt with shops, restaurants and residential condos.

    Maui's newest mall unofficially opened for business in September 2013 with Safeway as an anchor…read more The rest of the mall is still unoccupied and is available for lease. It consists of four separate buildings ranging in size from 1,000 sf to 10,450 sf. Hopefully some national shops and eateries will jump on board and bring some life to Wailuku and introduce some new options & flavors to the island in general. We'll see! The population area surrounding the mall is growing fast, and hopefully marketers are researching this. So, for now it's a 3-star. Access is safe and easy from Kaahumanu Ave or Maui Lani Pkwy. Parking is plentiful due to low tenant occupancy.

    This shopping complex located located between the twin towns of Kahului and Wailuku, opened in the…read moreFall of 2013 with Safeway as is anchor tenant. It has 103,249 square feet of leasable space on approximately 12 acres. Access to the complex is off of Ka'ahumanu Avenue, with the main entrance off of Maui Lani Parkway. There are 4 buildings in this complex. Safeway with an attached building of 10,450 square feet, a 2-story office building (next to Safeway), a "restaurant" building and a building for shops (along Maui Lani Parkway). The complex went through several changes before it was even built. Originally proposed with a larger Safeway and another attached building (on its' mauka side), it was also to have a gas station. Neighbors in the adjoining neighborhood opposed the idea and the developer revised their plans. The complex was scaled down with no gas station and the proposed entry off of Kainani Street was moved. Also removed was the fifth building that was proposed on the mauka side of the property. Another issue was the discovery of human remains and burials on the property. Local Hawaiian groups opposed the building of the shopping center, noting that it was an ancestral burial ground (pre and post contact). The developer eventually kept several burials in place and marked them (as designated by the Maui/Lana'i Burial Council) with stone markers, a bronze plaque (stating it was a native Hawai'ian burial site, site identification number, AND to respect the area) and metal fence to enclose it. Filling up this shopping center has been slow. There are spaces for a possible 25 tenants, but so far only 6 have opened up. The proposed "restaurant" building is empty and rumours ran rampant that it was the site of Olive Garden.
