The Makaha Gateway

The Makaha Gateway...formerly known as Makaha Marketplace has been going through some changes. Some parts of the parking lot has been repaved. The buildings has been repainted and new designs added. Some tenants moved in while other tenants moved out.Newest addition to the lot is Longs Drugs store. The entrance is facing the ocean. Handicap parking is available with additional parking on the side of the building.Long time tenants are Makaha Chop Suey for Chinese takeout. Makaha Ohana Market for the liquor or snacks. The Wash Spot to do laundry. Lei's Fashion for clothing. Treasure Seekers Thrift Store and Collectibles for thrift store items.Other tenants include West Side Barbers, Team Realtors, Big Island Substance Abuse Center, North Shore Mental Health Center, and the church.I'm curious on what other retail or food establishment will make a home at the Makaha Gateway.11/100

I rarely drive out to Makaha but wanted to check today's Grand Opening of the Gateway a.k.a. ole Cornets. The grand opening itself was a nice event handful of craft vendors, handful of food vendors few being food trucks, kids Halloween treats area and oh a mini waianae historical museum from makaha to nanakuli. So interesting to read and hear via video bout the history of the coast. Alot of work went into it.Okay as far as the shops at Gateway itself Jeana summed it up. I was a lil surprised there was a grand opening when it felt and looked like a section of the center is still tenantless basically the entire section b4 the laundry mat looked deserted. Hope they find me shops soon or whatever the plan is for that area.Ample parking.Easy in and out multi entrances/exits.
