which may help drive prices down a bit.
ME: Probably not. My husband, on an ever vigilant quest for the best price for a 24 pack of Diet Coke, stopped into Long's Saturday only to find the price for a 12 pack is more than most places for a 24 pack. He cruised the aisles and saw no 'deals' and he is a 'deals' guy.
Malama's competition should be Pahoa Cash and Carry and the Health Food Store, both located in Pahoa town. BK and KFC defintely will appeal to some but we should not forget the many eateries located in Pahoa proper. I hope the community will not become so 'mall' centric that we lose the very places we enjoy patronizing most, like the restaurants, specialty shops, etc. I think there should be a significantly sized sign made available right at the Malama exit from the highway with the names of all the businesses Pahoa Village road gives the motorist access to! For the tourist who is looking for the 'local' experience, the sign would provide a bit of a visual to let them know there is more to Pahoa than immediately meets the eye at H-130 & Pahoa Village Rd.
