MENTNECH: We started probably like the first or second week of January because we had <br />a store in KeaÒau. The State had the, we were in the KeaÒau Plaza. The State blocked off the <br />entrances to that shopping plaza for about two months while they repaved, and it was during the <br />Christmas season. And at the end of December we were out of business there. So we moved <br />everything we had to the garage; and I think we had a garage sale. And we had all of this stuff <br />and people wanted to buy it, and then kind of like a week later we opened it up and just left it <br />opened. And then somebody complained and we shut down immediately after they told us we <br />couldnÓt do it anymore. So -. <br /> <br />J.
