Aloha friends, I would like to introduce you to Tia, the new shop owner!
Tia has deep roots in Hilo. She lives in Pāpaʻikou and her family has been here since the plantation days. Tia has lived away from Hawaiʻi for part of her life but has been home for many years now, because as you know, Hilo is where the heart is. ❤️
Tia has a deep love for all animals big and small, is deeply tied into the Hilo community and is particularly fond of Downtown Hilo’s unique culture. In her free time, you can find her taking care of her dogs and driving her 4Runner through Keaukaha. You may recognize her from Hulakai, Nālani’s neighboring shop in Downtown Hilo.
Tia brings a youthful, lighthearted fun vibe to Nālani and has been working on an exclusive t-shirt line that is just for you 🫶🏽
I’m so excited to see where she takes things in the future! And I’m trusting that the Nālani community will be just as supportive of her as you have been for me, if not more. I consider Tia to be my sister, and I hope you will come to love and adore her as I have.
Welcome, Tia! ❤️🫶🏽😘
