Tony Roma’s Lahaina Shuts Down!
I received an email from one of my readers, Bruce Wheeler of Seventh Wave PhotoGraphics on Maui that Tony Roma’s in Lahaina had shutdown. Living on Oahu now, I immediately dispatched my protege and Maui correspondent, my 2-year-old niece Taimane.
NEENZ: “Hi, Tai Tai.”
TAIMANE: “Hi Auntie. What are you doing?”
NEENZ: “Working. Can you ask Mommy to confirm that Tony Roma’s in Lahaina closed down.”
TAIMANE: “OK.”
NEENZ: “OK. Tell Mommy.”
TAIMANE: “OK. What are you doing?”
NEENZ: “Still working. Tai can you ask Mommy.”
TAIMANE: “OK. Mommy can we check if Tony has clothes.”
Close enough. And, yes Tony Roma’s in Lahaina closed its doors in perhaps not even a year since opening. The location is still listed as being open on its website, but a quick call to a friend at the Aiea location confirmed that low business sales had forced the decision to close.
Perhaps it was the level of customer service?
