GM- I saw this card at Ala Moana target. The targeted audience is probably locals but maybe even tourist because it is in Ala Moana which is very packed with tourist. They used pidgin in the comic an example being “what is dat smell”.

GM - This card was at the Ala Moana target. This card says “Chee hoo” which is similar to woohoo - when you are celebrating or if something is exciting. For this card / I believe it was for a birthday.

This photo was taken at the Down to Earth grocery store in Kapolei. It says the state motto and it’s common English translation, which both have many interpretations. Many interpret the phrase as advocating for sovereignty. The domain is retail, so the company may be trying to brand themself as a positive contribution to Hawaii. SM

This is a sign for Ili’ili Farms displayed in the produce section of Down to Earth. Signs representing the local farms that Down to Earth sources produce from are displayed throughout the section. The purpose could be to promote the farm, or to help shoppers become more conscious of where their produce comes from. The use of these signs brings awareness to local farmers and reminds customers to shop local. SM

This photo was taken in Down to Earth’s Pearlridge location, displaying the brand “‘Okina.” The brand might use Hawaiian to automatically signify to consumers that they are locally owned. This is in the retail domain, and is probably seen by mostly local people. SM
