The Haleiwa Supermarket, a landmark North Shore business for more than a century, shuts down for good today.

The grocery store was founded in 1907 as K. Sakai Shoten by former plantation workers Kasaku and Tomi Sakai, the store's owners said in a news release.

Their son, Charles, eventually took over and delivered orders all through the rural workers' camps with a horse and buggy.

In 1954, he and his wife, Myrtle, moved the store across the street to expand it into a supermarket. In 1975, they expanded again and moved the store back across the street to its present location on Kamehameha Highway. Charles and Myrtle's nephews Roy and Robert Sakai, along with Roy's wife, Shinae, run the market.

The family is selling the business to Longs Drug Store, a CVS Caremark Corp. company.
