Don Quijote in Waipahu will close permanently at the end of this year, the owners have announced. The store’s last day is December 31.
Pan Pacific Retail Management Hawaii and Don Quijote Hawaii made the announcement in a news release, saying the store’s lease expires that day. However, the store at 94-144 Farrington Highway will remain stocked through New Year’s Eve and will still sell permitted fireworks.
The store’s pharmacy will also remain open until New Year’s Eve. Customers can contact the pharmacy for assistance in transferring their prescriptions to other pharmacies.
“The store is grateful to the Waipahu community for their many years of support,” Pan Pacific said in a news release. “The store first opened in Waipahu in 1995 as Daiei. The store was renamed Don Quijote in 2006 when Pan Pacific International Holdings acquired Daiei.”
Two other Don Quijote stores remain open in Hawaii: one in Honolulu and one in Pearl City.
PPRM also operates Times Supermarkets, Big Save Markets, Marukai Hawaii, Tokyo Central Hawaii, DonPen Times, Fujioka’s Wine Times and Shima’s Market.
