Years after iconic Waikiki eatery closed, a new tenant is moving into the space

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - More than five years after an iconic restaurant closed for good in Waikiki, a new tenant is taking over.

The beloved Wailana Coffee House will become an ABC Store.

Workers have already begun doing the buildout for a new, high-end ABC Store branded “Island Country Markets.”

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the chain.

It was started and still run by the Kosasa family.
