Located at Dole Cannery, the Dole Ballrooms are an intrinsic part of Hawaii’s history. Long before Hawaii became known as a tourist destination, the state’s economy was primarily driven by agriculture, of which the largest crops were sugarcane and pineapples. At the beginning of the 20th century, James Dole began the Dole Pineapple Company, one of the largest pineapple distributors in the world. The Dole Cannery played an integral role in the company’s success as it gave Dole the ability to pack and ship pineapple to broad overseas markets. With the decline of the pineapple industry in Hawaii, cannery operations closed in 1991 and the area has been converted into an office and retail complex, including Signature Theatres’ state-of-the-art 18 plex, Home Depot, and the Dole Ballrooms.
