Breadshop, a craft bakery led by Christopher Sy, will open at Finance Factors Kaimuki Center on Waialae Avenue.
To be modeled after a classic boulangerie or neighborhood bakery, Breadshop’s offerings will change daily, Sy said in a statement.
Initial items will include leavened breads, croissants and French pastries for which Sy’s customers have come to know him. Sy plans to expand Breadshop’s products to include baked goods that are hard to find in Hawaii.
“It is my hope that Breadshop will not become a destination but an everyday occurrence; a regular joy in people’s lives and a happy part of their routine,” he said.
Construction on the center began in July, and the build-out of Breadshop and a new Finance Factors branch office is to begin as early as this summer.
“Finance Factors is pleased to welcome Christopher Sy and his craft bakery as the first of several tenants at our brand new Finance Factors Kaimuki Center,” said Steven Teruya, president and chief operating officer of Finance Factors.

General Growth must be raking in tons of dough at Ala Moana Shopping Center. Who the heck makes money nowadays, especially in Hawaii retail? Yeah, automobile dealers. I need to get into Real Estate. I’ve been homeless too long.
Will they make bread WITHOUT dough conditioners and preservatives? My friends and I who have Type 2 diabetes have discovered that we get huge blood sugar spikes when we eat even small amounts of bread with dough conditioners and preservatives. We don’t have a problem with bread that doesn’t have those ingredients. I make some bread at home, but it would be nice to be able to buy fresh made bread that’s “safe” for us to eat.
I’ll stick with Leonard’s bakery.
