Kihei

When we first came here in the days before time, shopping in Kihei was an idea whose time hadn't come. Now, there are seven (count 'em, seven) strip malls with more shops than you can count. Certainly more than you can get through in a few days. We can't keep track, but here's a quick guide.

Azeka Place

In 1950, Kihei was a little beach town with a dirt road. Bill Azeka opened his first store. Used to be the place to stop and get a hamburger on the way to the beaches.

Today Azeka Place is Kihei's largest shopping center with over 50 shops and restaurants.
