Owned by luxury giant LVMH, the Hong Kong-headquartered DFS Group runs duty-free shops in Waikiki, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu and Kahului Airport on Maui. All three stores will close, with the T Galleria in Waikiki shuttering on Jan. 28, and Honolulu airport’s shop closing on March 31.
