Monkey Business

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Colorful kites are now flying in Kualapu`u, attracting residents and visitors to the newest sundry shop on Molokai, Blue Monkey.

Inhabiting the previous gift shop space at the Coffees of Hawaii plantation, Big Wind Kite factory owners Jonathan and Daphene Socher are expanding their current operations and bringing their unique products to a larger space.

 

Socher said response from the community has been nothing short of outstanding, and feels business will continue to flourish despite the downfalls other local stores have experienced the past few months.
