HPM Building Supply reveals expansion moves
Hawaiian prodealer HPM Building Supply has announced the expansion of its retail operations with a new store and drive-through lumberyard on Lānaʻi.
The 5,000-square foot space was previously known as Lānaʻi Hardware and Lumber store, which closed in 2023 when its former operators retired.
HPM said the store is currently being renovated and is slated to open this April.
“The expansion to the beautiful island of Lānaʻi marks an exciting new chapter for HPM as we introduce our company to the community of Lānaʻi and serve their needs,” says Jason Fujimoto, HPM chairman and CEO. “This opportunity allows us to provide valuable resources, a wide range of products, and diverse materials to a unique market like Lānaʻi and we look forward to developing a collaborative relationship with its residents and businesses.”
Early plans for the new retail space include the addition of live plants sourced from landowner Pūlama Lānaʻi’s nursery.
HPM core products such as lumber, plywood, hardware, power tools, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, as well as flooring will be in stock.
New retail options include pet food and supplies and various seasonal products.
Custom-ordering will also be available for Lānaʻi customers who wish to purchase specialty lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, window coverings, and manufactured products, like HPM’s Custom Metal Roofing.
HPM plans to engage the Lānaʻi community, as well as current team members, in its recruitment efforts for the new store. The 100% employee-owned company looks to add six key positions and encourages interested new candidates to apply at www.hpmhawaii.com/careers.
The company operates 19 locations across Hawai‘i Island, Maui, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Lāna‘i, and Washington state.
