Jeans Warehouse Opens First-Ever Flagship Store at Ka Makana Ali‘i

With a grand opening scheduled for Nov. 21, the 12,000-square-foot store will be the
largest Jeans Warehouse location yet with juniors, plus, kids, and more

KAPOLEI, HI (November 9, 2020) — Ka Makana Ali‘i is pleased to welcome the first-ever Jeans Warehouse flagship store to the Center on Friday, Nov. 13 with a grand opening celebration on Saturday, Nov. 21 with prize giveaways. At approximately 12,000 square feet, it will be the largest Jeans Warehouse location yet and will house all of the brand’s divisions — juniors, plus, kids, scrubs, shoes, accessories and even some toys. Located near Center Court between Zumiez and American Eagle, the new flagship store will be a one-stop shop for local families.

“We are excited to welcome the community to our new flagship store and are so grateful to those who have supported Jeans Warehouse, especially through the pandemic,” said Cindy Mikami, COO of Jeans Warehouse. “Because Kapolei and Ewa Beach are both growing communities with local families, we chose to open our flagship store at Ka Makana Ali‘i.”

In 2016, Ka Makana Ali‘i welcomed Local Fever and Local Fever Kids to the Center. Four years later, both stores will be consolidated into one location and use the more widely recognized name, Jeans Warehouse.

To keep customers safe, Jeans Warehouse will implement enhanced safety measures including: frequent cleaning and disinfection, access to hand sanitizer, returned items are taken off shelves for 24 hours, installing plastic barriers, enforcing social distancing and limited capacity, and more. During the pandemic, Jeans Warehouse also created a system where customers could shop the store’s inventory online and pick up their orders at the store within four hours.

Jeans Warehouse was founded here in the Islands in 1978 with the owner originally selling jeans from her apartment. It’s steadily grown since then with 28 Jeans Warehouse and Local Fever stores total — four are in Guam and the rest in Hawaii.

“We value our local businesses at Ka Makana Ali‘i, especially the team at Local Fever and Local Fever Kids, and we cannot wait to welcome the new Jeans Warehouse flagship store to the Center,” England said. “At Ka Makana Ali‘i, community is at the heart of everything we do. The health and well-being of the Center’s ‘ohana – its tenants, employees, patrons and community — is our top priority.”

Guests are asked to avoid entering the Center if they have flu-like symptoms or otherwise do not feel well. Guests entering the property are asked to maintain a six-foot distance from one another and to avoid shaking hands or engaging in unnecessary physical contact. Patrons entering the Center shall wear face masks that cover the nose and mouth. These should be worn at all times while at Ka Makana Ali‘i.
