Keauhou Store

Keauhou Store built in 1919

This was Kona's true department store

Sake, the Boston Terrier, loves resting in an original store case

One of the great new finds in the Big Island's coffee country is the Keauhou Store along the Mamalahoa Highway.  Lovingly restored by Kurt and Thea Brown, this 1919 structure- a true department store in its day- is now part upscale and local grocery and museum.  Highlights include Thea's homemade cookies and an historic display of business artifacts and merchandise from the store's nearly 100-year run.  We loved the antique apparel-  shoes and socks, too- and the "back office" complete with office equipment from the days of Mr. Yoshisuke Sasaki, Keauhou Store's founder.
