Hawaii Apple Store Boasts Lava Facade

by , 8:40 AM EDT, September 29th, 2008

Apple Inc. opened its third and largest Apple Store on Hawaii's Waikiki island over the weekend, but this one takes a page, or a stone, from the local area by offering visitors a façade of cut lava stones. Covering the event for his Hawaii Blog, Ryan Ozawa wrote that the store received an Hawaiian blessing, with a line beginning to form at 3:00 AM local time.

Calling the turnout sparse -- with as many as 400 in line -- Mr. Ozawa posted pictures, a story, and a high-definition video of last minute, pre-opening work being done on the store, as well as the opening festivities themselves.

There is no Waikiki Island!

Honolulu is on the Island of Oahu and Waikiki is Honolulu's famous beach resort!!
