Opening its doors at 10 a.m. on July 15, 2020, Foodland Farms Ka Makana Aliʻi is West Oahu’s newest destination for food, a grocery shopping and dining. Try the new Foodland Chef Essentials – stock, marinades, dressings, spice rubs and more – when you want to cook or barbecue like a chef, or check out ready-to-take-home family meals when you don’t.
Consider it your new post-workout, post-beach, post-everything stop for fresh made-to-order bowls or burritos – all built to order, just the way you want them. And then there’s Mahi ‘ai Table, Foodland’s first-ever in-store, full-service restaurant, offering a delicious new twist on farm-to-table dishes, craft cocktails and more.
Located at The Grove at Ka Makana Aliʻi, a collection of lifestyle retailers, restaurants and services promoting healthy living, the new 32,000-square-foot Foodland Farms is a reimagined, full-service grocery store and chef-driven dining experience.
In addition to Foodland’s largest-ever selection of organic groceries, Foodland Farms Ka Makana Ali‘i offers an impressive range of Hawaii-grown, Hawaii-raised and Hawaii-made products and ingredients. The store’s abundance of healthy options includes freshly made juice, meat alternatives, gluten-free products, locally made grain-free granola and power bars, extra creamy Maika‘i ulu hummus, and keto and paleo-friendly foods.
“Our team is so excited to bring Foodland Farms to the West Side of Oahu,” said Jenai S. Wall, Foodland Chairman and CEO. “We see each new store as an opportunity to raise the bar on our offerings and services, so we think carefully about our customers and what we can do to excite and delight them. Here, we have focused our efforts on providing new, easy ways for Oahu’s West Side families to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with each other, whether they want to dine at a restaurant, pick up a quick meal to go, or cook like a chef at home. We look forward to having the community experience and enjoy all we have created just for them!”
Exclusive to Foodland Farms Ka Makana Ali‘i is Mahi ‘ai Table, a full-service restaurant and bar located right inside the store spotlighting a fun, creative and oh-so-mouthwatering menu of local farm-to-table dishes big on inventive ingredient and flavor combinations.
Start lunch or dinner with a bowl of Beef Luau, with slow-braised short ribs, luau leaf and Ho Farms lomi tomato and tomato water, followed by a Hawaii Meats Beef Burger, topped with MA‘O Organic Farms Sassy Mix greens, Sweet Land Farm gouda and cremini mushroom marmalade on a La Tour Bakehouse potato bun.
