General Manager Kristin Kamakau says, “We are able to ensure events are truly “legendary” by treating each event as an opportunity to provide an authentic and credible learning opportunity about how special this place is.”

The Keauhou Kahalu‘u Heritage Center is part of the shopping center. Plan a visit (admission is complimentary) and learn why Keauhou is so special.

Owned by Kamehameha Schools, and managed by Jones Lang LaSalle, the center provides service, shopping, and fun for residents and tourists in one location. And oh yes, there’s
plenty of free parking!

The shopping center is also a stop on the Honu Express Trolley, making it convenient for those without transportation.

Kristin joined the property eight years ago, and has initiated many exciting activities for the center such as partnering with KAPA-FM for the monthly Hui Kakoʻo benefit concert series, Thursdays kupuna crafts, Fridays hula show and Saturdays farmers market, which are all free.
Her vision is to have the shopping center fully occupied with thriving tenants. “I like helping others help themselves.”

Keauhou Shopping Center is a big participant and sponsor of the Hawaiian Food Basket and Support the Keiki.

Kristin says, “Come and visit us! Stop in and say aloha! We have many wonderful merchants offering great things!”
