Launch of Hawaiian Marketplace

26 Oct 2020

Hawaiian has launched a new online shopping platform for Perth customers to buy from their favourite local retailers without having to leave home.

For customers wanting an online shopping experience, Hawaiian Marketplace gives shoppers the opportunity to shop locally and support WA businesses at the click of a button.

For small businesses without the time and resources to create and drive traffic to their own e-commerce solution, Hawaiian does the heavy lifting; offering our local brick and mortar retailers another sales channel.

Hawaiian Marketplace was created as a result of changes in consumer shopping behaviour. This new multi-vendor platform supports specialty retailers at Hawaiian’s six Perth shopping centres by managing sales and delivery of products, direct to customers’ doors and at no charge to tenants.

The site has more than 400 products available for purchase and come with non-contact, free delivery within 5km of the local Hawaiian shopping centre, or Click&Collect options.

Hawaiian General Manager Shopping Centres Scott Greenwood says Hawaiian Marketplace complements in-store sales and customers can purchase from multiple retailers within one Centre, in a single transaction.

“We’re pleased to be able to support our local retailers and community by providing this unique service which recognises the needs of both our tenants and our customers,” Mr Greenwood says.

“Hawaiian Marketplace makes shopping locally and supporting WA businesses easy. This online platform means our valued customers can shop safely from home and it also backs our hard-working local retailers many of whom have done it tough this year.”

The idea for Hawaiian Marketplace came about after the success of the Hawaiian Delivers initiative amid pandemic lockdowns in WA. This specialty delivery service supported retailers at Hawaiian’s Shopping Centres to trade and assisted our community to access their favourite local shops from the safety of home.

Hawaiian Marketplace is available at Hawaiian’s Mezz (Mount Hawthorn), Hawaiian’s Noranda, Hawaiian’s Park Centre (East Victoria Park), Hawaiian’s Melville, Hawaiian’s Forrestfield and Hawaiian’s Bassendean.
