Cash Plus opens downtown Honolulu location
A financial-services franchise serving families and downtown Honolulu workers has opened a second location at Fort Street Mall.
Cash Plus — which offers check cashing, payday advances, wire transfers, money orders and serves as a bill payment center for dozens of companies — opened at 1111-A Fort Street Mall, a few doors from McDonald’s and Hawaii Pacific University.
The store doubles as a wireless and high-speed Internet service provider from Mobi PCS and Clearwire.
The Fort Street store is the second franchise for co-owners and Hawaii entrepreneurs Mark Nakatsukasa and Dylan Mabuni paydayloans. They opened their original location in January 2006 at 1130 Middle St.
"There was a need for financial services in different communities," Nakatsukasa said.
