Over 40 years ago, Down to Earth opened its first store in Wailuku, Maui. The motivation behind the store was a simple desire of a group of friends to help improve the health of Hawaii’s residents by making available organic and natural products at affordable prices. Our Honolulu location opened shortly after that. In 2000, Down to Earth opened a modest store at Pearlridge West. While only a cozy 4,000 square foot location, it had everything customers needed.

Down to Earth will hold a Summer Celebration and Sale at its new Kakaako location on Saturday July 14th from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. Sale prices will be good only at the Kakaako location. We opened our 13,000 square foot Kakaako location this past April 27th on the ground floor of Keauhou Lane Apartments at the corner of Keawe and Pohukaina Streets, one block mauka of SALT. 

Down to Earth Organic & Natural opened Kakaako’s first grocery store on Friday April 27th. The 13,000 square foot location is on the ground floor of Keauhou Lane at the corner of Keawe and Pohukaina Streets, one block mauka of SALT at Our Kaka‘ako cultural center. The Kakaako store is Down to Earth’s sixth location and the chain’s largest store, with business hours from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Deli closes one hour before store closing.

Down to Earth Organic & Natural will hold a job fair for its new 13,000 square foot Kakaako location on Sunday March 18th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
