I've been brainstorming for years about what should open up in that spot. Another Asian restaurant certainly never crossed my mind. I don't want to see businesses go belly up but that spot has a reputation as business failure location. Personally I'd be happy if Keaau Naturals expanded there and set up some buffet/ restaurant of healthy foods along with groceries. A health-food store/diner/internet cafe? Maybe someone could give Island Naturals a run for its money and improve on that theme. Maybe... maybe that place shouldn't be any type of food store. A mini theater? Paintball adventure? How about a split business? A singles bar by night and something else by day? Oh wait... PVC in Pahoa used to try that and flopped. Bar at night, fish market at day. hmmm....
