Closing of Love's Bakery

Love's Bakery has been part of our community for almost 170 years. I am sadden with the closing as I am a regular customer of the thrift store on Middle Street. So many of us grew up with Love's being a part of our daily lives. Since 1990, Love's has been a landmark for us in the Kalihi community. Another local business closes due to the negative economic impact of COVID.
