Six stores on Front Street in Historic Lahaina Town opened their doors on Thursday, the same day that the state launched its pre-travel testing program for arriving passengers into Hawaiʻi.  For many, the day marked a milestone in the effort to revive Hawaiʻi’s economy.

“We are happy that restrictions have been modified and look forward to welcoming tourists and locals back to all the islands,” said Anne Wood with Tabora Gallery.  “Today marks a great start to reopening Hawaiʻi and as travelers learn to navigate the procedures and find the islanders welcoming, the word will spread and we will start our comeback.”

Tabora Gallery Lahaina is the first of the business’ five locations across the state to reopen after all were closed since March.  “We are super excited to be part of the legendary art scene on Front Street.  We have a full time staff of four and expect all employees to be working in the next few weeks.  We look forward to what Maui brings us,” said Wood.

With two locations in Waikīkī and one in Haleʻiwa on Oʻahu, as well as a gallery in Līhuʻe at the Kauaʻi Marriott, the company will be monitoring the progress of its Lahaina gallery.

“Tabora Gallery Lahaina is a brand new business and we are busting at the seams to get going. We’ve been waiting to open the doors and we finally were able to do it,” said Wood.

Other Front Street stores that opened on Thursday included: CocoNēnē, West Maui Gifts, Maui Jewelers, Billabong and Honolula Surf.

The nonprofit Lahaina Restoration Foundation has provided an updated list of stores and shops that are welcoming visitors and residents alike.  The list includes museum and historic sites, lodging, restaurants and bars, retail shops, ocean activities and other services.
