“We are excited about the opportunities that the KBA’s Shop on Kaua‘i website will provide to local Kapa‘a businesses,” said KBA President Jacqueline Manibusan.

The ease and convenience of the online shopping resource can be tested on the 2022 national Small Business Saturday initiative by shopping local without the hassle of parking and traffic.
“We are also encouraging our regular visitors from the mainland to visit the website, kbakauai.org/shop-on-kauai, and bring a little Kaua‘i home for the holidays by purchasing local holiday gifts for family and friends,” Manibusan said.
