KUKUI‘ULA — A new SoHa Keiki store has opened at Alexander &Baldwin’s The Shops at Kukui‘ula.
Featuring fun keiki necessities and playtime gifts, the store is a spin-off from the popular SoHa Living chain.
“Last summer, the first SoHa Keiki store opened at our Kailua Shopping Center to great success,” said Kit Millan, senior vice president of asset management at A&B.
“The robust growth of the SoHa brand is a testament to its bold entrepreneurship and local retail savvy. We are thrilled to see this popular island chain expand across Hawai‘i,” said Millan.
SoHa’s beachy lifestyle stores beckon residents and visiting shoppers and offer an array of items for the home, lanai and poolside. SoHa Keiki offers a selection of unique toys, swim accessories, baby bowls and teethers, Hawai‘i-centric books, nursery decor, pillows, towels, blankets and more.
SoHa shops are owned by sisters Shyrah Maurer and Brooke Watson. From their homes in Hawai‘i, the two scout the globe for quality items to please island keiki and their families and create exclusive design items.
After experiencing remarkable success and customer loyalty with the SoHa Living stores, the entrepreneurial duo conceived of SoHa Keiki as a natural expansion.
Maurer and Watson operate 15 SoHa stores at 10 locations in Hawai‘i and plan additional expansion.
