Filipino Supermarket to Open on Oahu in 2014

Seafood City Supermarket has announced that they will be opening up their first store in Oahu sometime in 2014. Based out of California, Seafood City caters primarily to Filipino customers, and plans to build their first Hawaii supermarket in the Waipahu Town Center.  The market will be just over 38,000 sq ft in size.  Retail experts believe this is an excellent move by Seafood City, especially since based upon the 2010 census data, more than 60 percent (16,000 residents) of Waipahu's population is Filipino.  Furthermore, the census reports that Kunia and Ewa Village, two nearby neighborhoods, are home to another 11,000 Filipino residents.
