THE COS BAR TURNS 10ON THE MAP
The Shops at Wailea was recently featured in Shopping Center Weekly, a retail industry newsletter from the publishers of Tactics Magazine and Marketing Trendz that highlights retail news, events and promotions from across the globe.
The article focused on our work with the Google Maps team, who recently shot images of the center for its popular “Street View” feature (now live), and specifically the trio of hula wahine we arranged to have included in the shoot as an ambient promo-tion for the center. You can find the full
article at: ShoppingCenterWeekly.com.
MEET OUR NEW SECURITY DIRECTOR AT THE SHOPS
HAWAIIAN QUILT COLLECTION OPEN
We’d like to extend a warm welcome Ken Prather, our new security director. Ken, a retired detective and sergeant with the Maui Police Department, is already on duty. You’re invited to attend a meet-and-greet session, complete with coffee and donuts, on Friday, August 3 (9:30-10:30 a.m.) in the management office conference room.
We also wish “a hui hou” to our former security director Heidi Stuart, who has accept-ed a position in Ka‘anapali. We wish her the best and thank her for her loyal service.Note: The general number for security is still (808) 348-2357.
LETTER FROM THE G.M.
August heralds the annual obser-vance Admissions Day in Hawaii, which was attained statehood on August 21, 1959. I was a child living in rural O’ahu then and I vividly recall the clanging of pots and pans as people took to the streets and celebrated becoming the 50th state in the greatest country in the free world.
Did you know that Maui has two seasons? Hard to believe, but we actually have a summer (April to October) and a winter (November through March). Because of our location in relation to the equator and the mountain ranges and inte-rior valleys, Maui’s weather is pretty diverse; rainforest in Haiku, cool and clear in Kula, arid and hot in Lahaina and, of course, perfection in Wailea! Yes, beautiful Wailea’s weather is nearly almost perfect, hence why so many visit, and even more return.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL – FRIDAY, AUGUST 17
