David Lokar, co-owner of Henry Loui’s, a restaurant and bar that has been at the Mapunapua site since 1980 but dates back to 1958 in Waikiki, said the forced shutdown affecting his 44 employees is sad and painful. Home Depot has been working for close to a year or longer on plans for a new store on 1.4 acres in Mapunapuna once anchored by Asian grocery store 99 Ranch Market, and now tenants have until July 15 to move out.
