Aloha,

I regret to inform you all that I have decided to close Hale Tiki. The last day of operation was last Friday.

The reasons for closing Hale Tiki are mostly personal on my part. Money, business, and public support are not the issues here. Hale Tiki has enjoyed great support from our town and some of you all as well.

Hale Tiki has been one of the high points of my life so far and I enjoyed every minute of it. However, I have had a rough six months and I am choosing to do something different with my life now.

There are several offers on the table from interested parties and I might sell Hale tiki lock-stock-and-barrel. But chances are I will not, and that the closing will be for good.

I want to thank all of you that have supported us during the past two years and hope that Hale Tiki has helped the hobby.

I will drop by Tiki Central from time to time but just as this is my first visit in a while, it will be my last visit for a while. If you would like to contact me try my e-mail.

I just thought that you all would like to know.

Thanks You All and Goodbye,

Brad
