Bakery And Cookie Shop Building in Waipahu, Hawaii

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc. was the fabricator and supplier of this pre-engineered metal building in Hawaii, in Waipahu,  in May of 2004.

Durable, sustainable and inherently adaptable by design, the steel building currently serves as a bakery and cookie shop for The Cookie Lady of Hawaii, who leases the property from a private owner. Offering a broad range of cookie varieties ranging from the classic chocolate chip to shortbread macadamia nut and the bakery’s signature lemon, The Cookie Lady became a fast favorite among residents of Waipahu and surrounding Oahu, with many fans traveling substantial distances just to get their fix.

Versatile, Adaptable Industrial Spaces

Premanufactured metal buildings are a particularly popular construction choice for business owners across Hawaii, many of whom run industrial or food-service operations similar to this one. Before becoming the home base for The Cookie Lady, this particular building functioned as a gourmet muffin shop, highlighting the easy adaptability of steel buildings and their ability to accommodate a range of purposes and business types. In addition to selling her soft, chewy cookies out of this Waipahu location, The Cookie Lady also bakes products in this building which she then transports to other retailers to stock on their shelves.

A former sugarcane plantation town, Waipahu is a census-designated area located within the city and county of Honolulu, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. Situated along the shore of Pearl Harbor, Waipahu neighbors a number of other small communities, among them Waipio, Waikele, and Village Park.
