Target store protest greets president this morning
By Star-Advertiser Staff and pool reportsProtesters opposed to a Target store in Kailua were among those who greeted the president and first lady as their motorcade left their vacation home this morning.
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle left their vacation home in the motorcade just after 8 a.m.
Protesters held signs just outside the security checkpoint. One of the signs read "No Big Box Store in Kailua."
Target plans to open a store in Kailua in 2012 where the Don Quijote store is located.
Target estimates the store will draw 10 to 15 30 percent more traffic into the business district and plans $1 million in traffic improvements.
