Island Naturals will also feature grab-and-go options plus freshly baked goods.

"Our goal is to create an environment that reflects the best of island living. We are pleased to continue to support local businesses at Kona Commons while cultivating an exciting mix of shopping, dining, and lifestyle amenities for residents and tourists."
