Remodeled Safeway opens
Kumu Hula Pono Murray performs an oli at the newly remodeled and expanded Safeway store at Lahaina Cannery Mall on Wednesday. The renovation increased the store’s footprint by 25,000 square feet to a total of 60,000 square feet. Expanded departments include the deli, bakery, fresh seafood and poke section, bulk foods, wine and prepared food — including sushi, a wing bar and hot soup. At the grand opening, Safeway presented a $1,500 check to the Lahainaluna High School Foundation and the Boys and Girls Club of Maui. Members of Halau Na Wai Punalei also performed at the ceremony.
