CocoNene celebrated the grand opening Monday of its new store at the Kīhei Kalama Village.
The store known for its made-in-Hawaiʻi products lost its flagship location on Front Street during the Aug. 8 Lahaina wildfire.
When asked how business has been since the Lahaina fire, Carlos Montano, owner of The Sun Spot in Kihei, pointed to his cash register log, which showed $0.00.
As the search effort continues more than a week after the disaster, Maui’s residents try to balance helping friends and families with the tourism work needed to support themselves.
