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.

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
