Jason Hasegawa, owner and operator of the outlet for discount goods supplied by Canned Foods Inc., will operate the Kapalama store.

The new store is expected to open in early May in the complex now called City Square, being developed by Glenn Kaya, former GEM owner and holder of the master lease on the Kapalama property.

Plans for the new Grocery Outlet were announced last month by Kaya and Glenn Nakamura, regional representative of Berkeley, Calif.-based CFI. There were no plans at that time to close the Waianae store, said Nakamura.

CFI is a national supplier of manufacturers' excess inventory. Examples are canned and packaged goods that still have a shelf life but have been discontinued or replaced by the manufacturer with new lines.

Grocery Outlet sells the products at prices 40 to 50 percent below equivalent items in other local stores, Nakamura said.
