Chu: It’s Hawaii’s favorite drug store. I don’t have anything to add other than we’re <br />really happy to be bringing Longs to Kea‘au. It’s a nice sized store, it’s not one of the <br />largest, but it’s going to be nice, brand new, located next to Shipman headquarters and <br />across the street from the current Watumull Shopping Center. Do you have anything to <br />add to it (to Thalia)? <br /> <br />Rodriguez: We’re just looking forward to opening the doors in that new location. Right <br />now, we have the existing location open in the Kea‘au Shopping Center where we <br />service about 20,000-plus customers per month, doing about 3,200 prescriptions per <br />week. We’re looking forward to a larger space. <br /> <br />Chu: Right now, it’s pretty much a pharmacy. It will be a typical retail pharmacy plus the <br />other things that Longs brings to the community. <br /> <br />Taniguchi: Mr. Gonzalez, do you have any report of protests? <br /> <br />Gonzalez: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The applicant mailed eight out of eight notices within <br />100 feet, 33 out of 33 notices within 500 feet. There were 28 properties entitled to <br />protest, and we received zero protests for this application. <br /> <br />Taniguchi: Is there any public testimony regarding this application? <br /> <br /> There was no testimony. <br /> <br />Taniguchi: Commissioners, any questions? <br /> <br />Arakaki: I have a question. When do you expect this to be completed? When do you <br />expect the grand opening to be? <br /> <br />Rodriguez: Right now, the date set would be October 14, 2018. <br /> <br />Chu: There’s also a website where you can watch the daily construction go on. It’s <br />under KZ Development (the developer). Every so often I check on it. On a rainy day, <br />there’s not a lot of activity, but right now all the walls are up, the roof’s on, it’s looking <br />pretty good. <br /> <br />Taniguchi: Any other questions? Is it on the, it’s behind Shipman, so it’s on the <br />farmers’ market side of the street? <br /> <br />Chu: Right. It’s exactly where the farmers’ market used to be. <br /> <br />Rodriguez: Right. Yes. <br /> <br />Taniguchi: If there are no other questions, can we have a motion to close public <br />hearing? <br /> <br /> There were no other questions from the Commissioners. <br /> <br />July 5, 2018 – LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
