Abstract
The Keauhou Store, originally the Sasaki Store, was first opened in 1919 by Yoshisuke Sasaki and his family.
Sasaki was a skilled carpenter who built the archway to the Tong Wo Tong Cemetery and helped build the Daifukuji Soto Mission.
The Keauhou Store thrived until improved roads, such as the 1967 extension of Kuakini Highway, diverted traffic away from Mamalahoa Highway, hurting local businesses such as the Keauhou Store.
