What Hoʻomau Hawaiʻi Market Means
Depending on the context, “Hoʻomau” has many meanings - just like most Hawaiian words and phrases. When naming this particular mākeke (market), we chose this name because it was broad enough to be inclusive, but specific enough that it spoke directly to our mission. Hoʻomau means “to continue, perpetuate, persevere” and each of our vendors exemplify these values in all aspects of their business.
