Market City Shopping Center Marking It’s 60th Year

If you’ve eaten at Gina’s Korean BBQ or Formaggio’s, or even purchase craft products at Ben Franklin’s, then you know about the Market City Shopping Center on Kapiolani Blvd under the H1 freeway. Although they will not have a public celebration, this Saturday, an invitation only celebration for their 60th anniversary will be held at the lower parking lot level, where Ben Franklin and Formaggio’s is (Source: Honolulu Advertiser).

The event will be held between 6-8pm and will feature about 500 people. That’s pretty busy if you ask me.

And not for a quick trivia question. Where was the location of Hawaii’s FIRST Foodland supermarket? If you guess Market City Shopping Center, then you’re absolutely right! So where was the location of Hawaii’s first McDonald’s? Not Market City…go farther east…
