About Us
Hakoda's Builders Appliance has been family-owned and operated since its inception in 1953, by founders, Gilbert and Yaeko Hakoda. Gilbert began with a repair shop in Holualoa, and then opened up a retail store in Kainaliu and Kailua-Kona. In 1984, the two stores merged in downtown Kailua-Kona. Currently in it's second generation, operated by Wayne and Darlene Hakoda, and going into their 3rd generation by Darren and Ryan Hakoda, the family tradition still carries on: “We Care, We Service, We Protect our Valued Customers.” Built on a foundation of integrity, care and exceptional customer service, Hakoda's sells and services quality-brand appliances you can depend on.
