Arcimoto EV Rentals and One-2Buy Asian Snack Shop Open in Our Kaka‘ako

Our Kaka‘ako has welcomed two new businesses, Arcimoto, the first electric vehicle rental provider in the neighborhood, and One-2Buy, an Asian grocery that has opened its first Hawai‘i store.

“Our Kaka‘ako is a hub for innovators, entrepreneurs, artists, and creators, and people come here to discover and try new things. It’s exciting to have even more unique experiences with both Arcimoto and One-2Buy offering something new,” said Gary Evora, Kamehameha Schools senior asset manager. “We’re happy to see our neighborhood grow more culturally diverse to reflect the people who live, work, and play here daily. We hope everyone will join us in welcoming these new businesses to our ‘ohana.”

Arcimoto
In its first Experience Center in Hawai‘i located at 805 Pohukaina St., Unit D, Arcimoto offers fun-sized electric vehicles for rent to ride across O‘ahu. Arcimoto is on a mission to shift the U.S. transportation industry to smaller, more efficient EVs, which have significantly reduced carbon emissions — over 520,000 lbs. of CO2e to date.

“We love Our Kaka‘ako because it’s centrally located, which allows us to provide excellent service to our kama‘āina as well as our visitors,” said Paula Johansson, Hawai‘i Experience Center Manager at Arcimoto.

One-2Buy
On the corner of Cooke and Auahi St., One-2Buy stocks a variety of snacks, drinks, grocery items, and household goods from China and other Asian countries, with the inventory refreshed regularly. Customers will find internationally famous snacks, tasty niche treats, and unique flavors not offered anywhere else on O‘ahu.

“Our Kaka‘ako is a great location for us. So many people live in the area and walk through to grab food and look at the beautiful street art,” said Cecilia Yang, Manager at One-2Buy. “Since Asian products are top-rated in Hawai‘i, we see all kinds of people come in — local people, tourists, and families.”
