In a circa-1974 plan, we see the original -343,000 square foot- shopping hub. KA'AHUMANU CENTER shared a 58-acre site with the aforementioned pineapple cannery. The center featured the first "neighbor island" Liberty House, as well as the first -and only- Sears on Maui. In this original incarnation, the 10 million dollar mall housed forty-seven stores and services.
