Prince Kūhiō Plaza is a single-level regional shopping mall in Hilo, Hawaii.
The mall is named for Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, who served as Congressional Delegate from 1903 to 1922.
[4] In September 1977, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands offered to lease 39 acres (160,000 m2) of land at the intersection of Pūʻāinakō Street and Kanoelehua Avenue (part of the Hawaii Belt Road) for development into retail space, which had been lacking in the area.
Orchid Isle Group, the sole bidder for the property, signed a 53-year lease on October 28, 1977.
[6] In 2004, the owner of the shopping center was sued by Longs Drugs for allowing a Safeway to be constructed at the mall.
