Despite the efforts, Hilo Hattie recently lost the lease in opening at the Royal Hawaiian Center. Their main retail outlet in Iwilei has shutdown and even their website (HiloHattie.com) is under construction or perhaps shutting down…
Hilo Hattie’s plan to open a flagship store in the center of Waikiki appears all but dead as the bankrupt retailer struggles to stay in business.
The retailer’s parent company, Pomare Ltd., recently lost the lease for space on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, where it had planned to open a new store last summer. No work was ever done on the space.

Aloha Mark, well, I think you are correct about their online business. Even though their website states that it is under construction. They have also laid off their entire online division. So that might shed more light on this.
