Does anyone know how much Ala Moana charges per month for rental space? I recall a friend inquiring to do business in the 'food court' and getting quoted $10K+/mth for a tiny slot to set up shop. Of course they balked and went elsewhere. 

The expensive food prices offset the costs of lease space, mandated healthcare costs for employees and other overhead. Then they are double taxed by having to pay GET.

SA did a story on how Honolulu was the most unfriendly state for a small business to sustain operation with all the associated costs.
