After word in the Honolulu Advertiser that Scan Design’s Honolulu store is set to close and offer drastically marked down prices, people lined up down the block for a chance to get in.
I sit facing King Street, so I can see the line from my office window.
People trying to get to the sale are clogging nearby roads, including Ward Avenue and Hotel Street that runs behind Straub Hospital and Clinic and the Honolulu Police Department’s headquarters.
The store is shutting down after 29 years in the islands.
About 150 people waited in line for the store to open. The workers were limiting the number of customers that entered at a time. Only 10 people were allowed in at a time every 30 minutes.
Scan Design still has to empty its warehouse, so new product will be brought out each week until it’s all gone, company workers said.
KITV has a crew following the customers and the closing sale. Tune in at 6 p.m. for the story.
