Pahoa getting a new shopping mall

[punagirl]

There was a DQ in Keauu but it's been closed for quite a while. There is nothing good about KFC, Taco Bell or McDonald's. It's be nice to see a mom & pop restaurant in there. Maybe a meat & three type place with plenty of vegetarian options and local type specials. It would be cool if the ACE really expanded and became more of a general store. I am still stuck on the mainland and have plenty of shopping options but prefer my local ACE over all the big boxes that surround it. It has an awesome nursery, all sorts of outdoor living stuff, a really fun kitchen section, pets area, an in-store Benjamin Moore paint store, "work" clothes & boots, a ton of locally made decorative items including a small section of jewlery, candles etc that are local and I almost forgot, they have all that boring hardware stuff too. Something like that could serve a lot of needs in the area.
