Waipahu, Oahu, where H-1 Freeway at Exit 7 gives Waikele Premium Outlets a location in the central Oahu commercial corridor between Honolulu and Ewa Beach, gives the property an outlet format whose commercial identity reflects both the national outlet brand floor and the specifically Hawaiian commercial culture the island’s multi-ethnic consumer base sustains. Reyn Spooner, the Honolulu-founded aloha shirt and Hawaiian heritage apparel brand whose reverse-print aloha shirts the Hawaii consumer has treated as the most respected Hawaiian garment institution since 1956, gives the property a Hawaii-specific fashion identity that no mainland outlet center can replicate at equivalent cultural depth. Honolulu Chocolate Company, the Honolulu-founded artisan chocolate brand whose macadamia and island-ingredient chocolates the visitor consumer accesses as a locally-made Hawaii confectionery gift, gives the property a Hawaii-native specialty food identity. Tommy Bahama Outlet serves the resort lifestyle and Hawaiian fashion outlet category.
Saks OFF 5TH serves the off-price department store category. Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Polo Ralph Lauren, Armani, and Armani Exchange give the property an accessible luxury outlet floor. Calvin Klein, American Eagle, J. Crew, Lacoste, Guess, Levi’s, Hurley, and Vans cover the accessible and surf-lifestyle fashion outlet floor. Adidas, Columbia, Crocs, Rip Curl, and Skechers serve the athletic and outdoor footwear categories. Tumi, Vera Bradley, and Kipling serve the luggage and bags categories. Pandora Outlet, Swarovski, and Zales serve the jewelry floor.
MOOJIGAE Korean Grill gives the property a Korean barbecue dining identity reflecting Hawaii’s significant Korean community. Alyssandra’s Lumpia Express gives the property a Filipino fast-casual identity reflecting Hawaii’s large Filipino community’s culinary heritage. Frida Taqueria and PJ’s Thai Kitchen give the property additional multicultural dining options. Aloha Coffee and Tea serves the café category. The property’s commercial role on Oahu is the Waikele central island premium outlets: a Reyn Spooner Hawaiian fashion identity, Honolulu Chocolate Company Hawaii-native gift anchor, and Saks OFF 5TH-to-Coach luxury outlet floor serving the Hawaii resident and visitor household as the primary premium outlet destination accessible via the H-1 Freeway in the Oahu central corridor.
