History
West Maui's roots in the historic pineapple industry began in 1912, when David T. Fleming began growing pineapple there for the Maui Pineapple Company. In 1920 the name was changed to Baldwin Packers, which grew pineapple at the Honolua Plantation and then canned it nearby.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mauiland.com/history.shtml|title = Maui Land & Pineapple Company: History}} Less than a mile from Lahaina harbor, tons of the exotic, succulent fruit were processed and canned at the historic Baldwin Packers pineapple cannery.{{cite web |url=http://www.bestofmauiguide.com/LahainaCannery.html |title=Best of Maui - Lahaina Cannery Mall |accessdate=2010-07-28 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821175410/http://www.bestofmauiguide.com/LahainaCannery.html |archivedate=2009-08-21 }} The Baldwins' growing and canning operations in Lahaina continued for many decades. However, in 1962 the Baldwins' east and west Maui holdings and pineapple operations were united when Baldwin Packers merged with Maui Pineapple Company. It was around that time that the Baldwin Packers pineapple cannery in west Maui was closed.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mauiland.com/history.shtml|title = Maui Land & Pineapple Company: History}}
Beginning in the mid-1980s, plans were established for a shopping center on the site of the old cannery. When developer Hawaii Omori Inc. began planning on the shopping center, the first idea was to reuse the Baldwin Packers cannery. When that proved impractical, the distinctive corrugated style and factory-like open conduits inside were adopted for the design. When the mall was built in 1987, it was designed to look like a pineapple cannery.{{Cite web|url=http://mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/28197.html|title = Insurance office closure poor customer service}}
