Island Grocery Depot in Lahaina reopens | News, Sports, Jobs

The Maui News

Island Grocery Depot in the Lahaina Industrial Park reopened on Tuesday, nearly two months after the wildfire destroyed many businesses and forced others to close.

The store is operating with modified business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is closed on Sunday. The will-call schedule for the store is also modified. Hours and will-call guidelines may change over time and are available online at islandgrocerydepot.com.

The area where the store is located remains under an unsafe water advisory. Store Manager Jon Yasutake has worked with the Department of Health to make adjustments prior to reopening, Island Grocery Depot said in a news release Tuesday. The restrooms are open, but the sinks are shut off and taped off. Portable hand-wash stations were brought in and set up next to the sink.

Selection will be limited at first. The store will not have ice, fresh meat and select produce items until the water is safe. Dairy, chill and frozen items will be limited until shipments come in to restock. Dry grocery items are mostly stocked but may be missing some items. The food trucks normally outside are not in operation at the moment.

“We want to thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding during these challenging times,” Yasutake said in a statement. “Our team is incredibly grateful to be back serving our beloved community. We are excited to welcome you back in-store! We are Lahaina Strong.”

Island Grocery Depot has one store in Lahaina and another in Kahului. The Kahului store has remained open daily with regular hours from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Both stores are open to the public, and no membership is required for savings.

The Lahaina store at 58 Kupuohi St. can be reached at (808) 866-5020, and the Kahului store at 90 Amala Pl. can be reached at (808) 877-1138.
