The Kalaupapa Store

A tan building with a sign that reads Kalaupapa Store.

There is only one store located in the settlement to buy groceries. For decades this store was only open to patients. Other residents, the workers and kokua (helpers) had another store from which they could get all their supplies. The dual stores highlight the consistent segregation between patients and staff. The store receives most of its wares from the barge. In the late 60’s the barge came two or three times a year. Whatever the barge brought was kept in the warehouse near the pier or left in front of the store. Now the barge comes in only once a year, though the store receives some items, like vegetables, more regularly on small planes. However, the store orders most of what it needs in bulk from the barge.
