Anyone who owns a home on Kauai knows that home decor options are limited so when a new shop opens it’s big news here. SoHa Living has opened its first Neighbor Island store at The Shops at Kukuiula on Kauai and is slated to open another in the Queens' MarketPlace on the Big Island within the next month.

"It's exciting and we're excited that our Koloa store is doing great," said Brooke Watson (source: Pacific Business News), who along with her sister, Shyrah Maurer, founded SoHa Living 13 years ago and currently operate two Oahu stores, at Kahala Mall and in Kailua. "We're very happy with it, so it's all good."

Watson said her company's 1,300-square-feet Kauai store has been in the works for the past few months and officially held a soft opening on Saturday in The Shops at Kukuiula. That store, she said, currently employs about 10 full and part-time workers.
