Kona Surf N’ Sandals now at Queens’ MarketPlace

MEDIA RELEASE

Just around the corner from Anaehoomalu, one of the island’s favorite beaches, is Queens’ MarketPlace, a natural beach resource for visitors and residents alike. With the fresh addition of a new Kona Surf N’ Sandals shop, the shopping center adds another option to help sun-seekers put their best foot forward.

Featuring Reef, Sanuk and Oofos footwear, DaKine bags, Scala hats and more, the new Queens’ MarketPlace shop specializes in quality products that offer style and stamina for the active island lifestyle.

New products hit the shelves frequently—such as the latest BirkSun Solar Backpack to power up cellphones and other devices on the trail.

Owner-operator Robyn Purdum fell in love with the shop, and the island in the 1990’s, while vacationing from Idaho, where her family farms sugar beets, wheat, corn and other vegetables.

She always made it a point to stop in Kona Surf n’ Sandals in the Kona Inn Shopping Village for the season’s Reef flip-flops to take back home.

When she noticed a going-out-of-business sale one year, she had a feeling the time was right and became owner of her first Kona Surf n’ Sandals’ shop in 2001. The Queens’ MarketPlace shop is their second location.

“I enjoy the slipper business,” said Purdum, who travels between Idaho and Hawaii throughout the year. “It’s been a real learning experience… The products are fantastic and we have fantastic employees, too. If I didn’t have such a great crew, I couldn’t do it.”

Stacked practically floor-to-ceiling with the newest styles in casual footwear, headwear, bags and luggage for men, women and children, Purdum said they pack a lot of variety into the cozy boutique.

“I want people to know we have great selection of products,” said Purdum. “And we carry a large inventory, so hopefully we’ll always have your size. We have great customer service, kamaaina discounts and a terrific location here at Queens’ MarketPlace. Who could ask for anything more?”

Kona Surf n’ Sandals is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. For more information, call 886-0898.
