“Our store is accessible and unpretentious with the hours and the attitude of your corner bodega,” said C. Sophie Graham, Founder and CEO of Broome Street General Store. “Driven by a shared commitment to community and a dedication to offering products that truly resonate with local residents, we are excited to bring our full store concept to Ward Village.”
For the past decade, Broome Street General Store, a Women of Color-founded, family owned business, has prioritized quality, function, and convenience, strongly emphasizing sustainability and ethical production. A small percentage of every purchase is donated to organizations supporting equality, sustainability, and public education. Best-selling items include DS & Durga, Trudon, Tata Harper, Ghia, Kin Euphorics, Conservas, Fishwife, and custom fine & semi-precious jewelry.
Beyond its global finds, Broome Street General Store celebrates local artistry with its own line of handcrafted jewelry and a curated selection of Hawai‘i-grown herbs and spices. The new 1,335-square-foot space, designed by an in-house team, will feature a café exclusively serving coffee from local roaster Chad Lou, marking its first cafe in Honolulu. The Ward Village location will also offer exclusive totes, tees, jewelry, and herbs/salts, with a complete espresso and matcha bar, specialty drinks, pastries, and brunch service.
“Broome Street General Store introduces a unique blend of artisanal goods to our community,” said Taylor Herring, General Manager of Ward Village. “This addition enhances the distinctive character of Ward Village and offers residents and visitors a curated shopping experience.”

About Ward Village®
Ward Village is a 60-acre master planned community in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī. Honoring the distinct history of its land, Ward Village is at the forefront of sustainable community development—integrating striking architecture, culture and arts, and public open space. At full buildout, the community will include thousands of homes and approximately one million square feet of unique retail in what Architectural Digest named “Best Planned Community in the United States.” As a result of strong demand for new housing in urban Honolulu, Ward Village quickly sold out its first seven mixed-use residential towers—Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o, Ke Kilohana®, ʻAʻaliʻi®, Kō‘ula®, and Victoria Place®—transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a thriving mixed-use neighborhood that offers ocean views and open space, including its newest outdoor gathering place, Victoria Ward Park. New residential buildings in development or under construction include Victoria Place, Ulana Ward Village®, The Park Ward Village®, and Kalae. Most recently approved by the Hawai‘i Community Development Authority (HCDA), The Launiu Ward Village will be the latest mixed-use development that will join the neighborhood.
Ward Village, a LEED®-ND Platinum-certified master planned community part of the Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. portfolio, demonstrates its commitment to responsible, mixed-use development by investing in public benefits and amenities for Honolulu’s urban community.
