Scoop: HomeGoods opening in former Kmart space in Hawaii

-


HomeGoods, the hugely popular home fashions retailer that’s owned by T.J. Maxx’s parent, is opening its second store in Hawaii in the former Kmart space at Waikele Center in Central Oahu, Shimogawa Scoops has learned.
The Lowe’s, Petco and Old Navy-anchored center is located directly across Waikele Premium Outlets in Waipahu. HomeGoods also is opening a new store at Kapolei Commons in West Oahu.
HomeGoods’ expansion to Hawaii signals a continued interest from Mainland retailers in making the scary jump over the vast Pacific Ocean to the Islands, although there have been many to do so in the past few years, including H&M, Urban Outfitters, Bloomingdale’s and Five Guys Burgers & Fries.
Founded in 1992, HomeGoods has standalone and superstore formats that goes along with a T.J. Maxx or Marshalls. Its offerings include giftware, home basics, accent furniture, lamps, rugs and décor.
Waikele Center also is home to such well-known brands as Office Max, Gap, Brooks Brothers, GameStop, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Subway, Chili’s Grill and McDonald’s. The 538,000-square-foot shopping center is highly visible from the H-1 Freeway.
