The Shops at Wailea Welcomes OluKai

 

Olukai, client of Scott Davidson, opens another brick and mortar!

The Shops at Wailea, Maui’s premier shopping and dining destination is proud to welcome OluKai to the Center’s diverse tenant roster. This location will mark the first in Wailea for the Hawaii-inspired footwear brand.

OluKai is dedicated to creating footwear that combines durability, ocean lifestyle, comfort and strong craftsmanship from heel to toe. Featured collections at The Shops will include their Men and Women’s Golf, Men’s Lava Rock, Men and Women’s Wai Camo, Hawaiian Lifeguard and more.

A portion of every pair sold directly supports the Ama OluKai Foundation, whose mission is to perpetuate culture and the aloha spirit. On Maui, they support the Maui Nui Makai Network and Manaiakalani, which are both dedicated to the education of local communities and conservation.

“It is a pleasure to welcome OluKai to our Center as the home of their first Wailea location,” said Diana Whitt, General Manager and Vice President Property Manager of The Shops at Wailea. “In addition to the variety of footwear offerings, we look forward to our guests enjoying an engaging experience which the brand is known for delivering.”

To celebrate, OluKai will host a special Grand Opening on Friday, April 29 starting at 4:45pm featuring guest speakers such as Mayor Victorino and live entertainment by the Kamehameha School Choir, John Cruz and a Mele Ukulele performance. A lei workshop and prize giveaway featuring OluKai merchandise will also take place. Complimentary food provided by Maui Streatery Food Truck and beverages from an in-store bar will be available throughout the event.

“We are honored to open our first Wailea location and further serve our Maui ohana at The Shops at Wailea,” said Archie Kalepa, OluKai Ambassador. “This grand opening is a time to celebrate with The Shops’ beloved guests while introducing everyone to our footwear.”
