MARCH 17, 2021 – DFS Group, the world’s leading travel retailer, has re-opened two of its stores in Maui’s Kahului Airport which had been temporarily closed due to the pandemic. The stores, branded as Kahului Trading Company, have long been popular stop-ins for travelers looking to purchase local souvenirs, food and gifts before they leave Hawaii.
The Kahului Trading Company stores are two of a total five stores that DFS operates in Kahului Airport and are located in the rotunda of the international terminal. The Kahului Trading Company stores specialize in local and locally made products including cookies, chocolates and souvenirs.

“We are excited to welcome travelers back to two of our Kahului Airport stores, and to see some flights resume as health conditions stabilize,” said Martin Matthews, DFS Managing Director North America. “Hawaii remains one of our most important locations, and we remain steadfastly committed to the state. We look forward to resuming normal operations and serving local and international customers as soon as we can.”
DFS opened its first Hawaii airport operations in 1962 at Honolulu International Airport, becoming the first duty free shop in the United States. Since then, DFS has continued to expand its local presence in Hawaii, opening its first downtown store in Honolulu in 1968 followed by its flagship store in Waikiki Square in 1975. DFS opened its first Kahului Airport store in 1997.
