Three new tenants at Queens’ MarketPlace

Queens’ MarketPlace has announced that three new tenants have recently signed leases at Waikoloa Beach Resort’s new shopping center. Local Lizard and Friends, Savvy Butik and Perfumania are all set to open at Queens’ MarketPlace in the coming months and will offer Hawaii Island residents and visitors a more extensive selection of modern women’s clothing, cosmetics and themed gifts.

Local Lizard and Friends will offer a unique assortment of lizard-themed T-shirts, caps, towels, blankets, backpacks, toys, sculptures and wall hangings, as well as other animal-themed paraphernalia.

Queens’ MarketPlace shoppers will soon be able to enjoy an extensive selection of authentic designer fragrances, exclusive cosmetic lines as well as bath and body products at the mall’s new Perfumania.

Specializing in contemporary women’s clothing, Savvy Butik, a new concept by owner Chelsey Tanoai, will offer a variety of trendy apparel and handmade jewelry by both Hawaii and national designers, including LaRok, Frankie B, TBags, Rebecca Beesen, Twisted Heart and Fighting Eel.


Free skin cancer screenings offered

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, accounting for about half of all the cancers. Annual skin screenings are essential for good skin health, especially in Hawaii with the great amount of sun exposure residents come in contact with during their daily routines. Even overexposure through windows in homes, offices and cars can affect skin health.

To kick off Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Monica Scheel, of Pacifica Integrative Skin Wellness Institute, and Paul Streiter, of Jackie Rey’s Ohana Grill, are teaming up to present “Pau Hana Friday with Skin Cancer Screenings.” This free event will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday at Jackie Rey’s Ohana Grill, 75-5995 Kuakini Highway. Jackie Rey’s will be providing complimentary pupus, while Scheel and her staff will be offering free skin cancer screenings, sun protection education and samples.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend this event. Skin screenings will be given on a first-come, first-served basis for the duration of the three-hour event.
