KTA Super Stores is an American company with its headquarters in Hilo, Hawaii, United States, and has the largest network of supermarkets on the Big Island.
History
[edit]KTA Super Stores' history goes back to 1916 when Koichi and Taniyo Taniguchi established a small food store in Hilo, Hawaii to serve sugar plantation workers. The K and T in the name were for the founders, with an A being used to differentiate from any stores using the other initials.[1]
The original KTA was destroyed in the tsunami of the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake. After reopening, it expanded into a supermarket.[2]
