Debt shuts down Hawaiian Isles water, coffee companies
Two familiar brands in the islands — Hawaiian Isles Water Co. and Hawaiian Isles Coffee Co. — have shut down under a pile of debt and in the wake of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, according to the companies’ attorney.
Bankruptcy attorney Chuck Choi said Friday that the judge in the case involving Honolulu parent company HIE Holdings Inc. has appointed a trustee to oversee the Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings, and an auction is being planned for company equipment being stored in a Kapolei warehouse.
