JAMM AQUINO / FEB. 5 Hawaii egg prices remained high this month, according to a state report. Trays of eggs are seen here at Eggs Hawaii in Honolulu in February.
Hawaii egg prices this month are still high, according to the latest state market analysis, while the difference between local and U.S. mainland egg prices continues to narrow.
The Hawaii Department of Agriculture revealed mixed results in its latest report in the week leading up to the popular Easter holiday in April, when eggs are in high demand.
The benchmark price for conventional, non-organic eggs increased slightly by 0.7 % to $9.58 a dozen compared with $9.51 in March. The price of conventional mainland eggs, meanwhile, declined slightly by 1.5 % to $9.32 a dozen compared with $9.46 the previous month.
'The price range for both local and mainland-sourced eggs narrowed, suggesting more consistent pricing across retailers, ' the report said.
In December a dozen local, conventional eggs was priced at $8.87, while mainland eggs were $8.35.
The price of locally produced organic eggs, meanwhile, increased 18.8 %, to $12.07 a dozen in the week leading up to the Easter holiday. The price for mainland-imported organic eggs also increased, though more modestly, by 2.6 %, to $9.74 a dozen.

'As a result, the average price differential between locally produced and U.S. imported organic eggs increased to $2.33 per dozen, up from 67 cents previously, ' the report said.
Industry analysts have blamed the avian influenza outbreak for the shortage of eggs on the U.S. mainland.
To date, no commercial poultry farms in Hawaii have experienced an outbreak of avian influenza. Many retailers continue to limit the number of egg cartons their customers may purchase due to the ongoing shortage.

M&S issues update on Sparks card after online orders resume following cyber attack
While many shoppers were delighted to see that Marks and Spencer had resumed online orders - some were left feeling disappointed. Around six weeks ago, the leading British retailer had their website breached by hackers who were able to gain access to customers' data via a third party. Online orders have been unavailable since the Easter weekend and the retailer was left with empty shelves in many of its stores.

On Tuesday June 10, after two months of no access, customers were informed they could order food, clothing and homeware from the M&S website. In a statement posted to Instagram, the retailer wrote: "A selection of our best selling fashion ranges will be available for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales." They then added: "More of our fashion, home and beauty products will be added every day and we will resume deliveries to Northern Ireland and Click and Collect in the coming weeks." View this post on Instagram A post shared by M&S (@marksandspencer) While many shoppers in Northern Ireland were disappointed that they would be left waiting, several other members were gutted to find out that they couldn't use their Sparks card to avail of exclusive offers. Sparks is Marks & Spencer's online-only customer loyalty and reward program. It offers exclusive perks, treats, and personalized offers to members, as well as a chance to receive a free order and a charity donation with each purchase. One Instagram user named Gemma Garrard commented under today's post: "Are the Sparks cards working again now for offers etc?" Liz, a spokesperson for M&S, replied: "At the moment, we are not offering Sparks offers but we're working hard to get this back up and running as soon as possible. Apologies for any disappointment caused." Another user with the handle @peersatron asked: "Have there been no Sparks offers for a while? Or is my app playing up? Literally since the cyber attack I've had nothing which is unusual." Another spokesperson for M&S named Amelia replied: "We have paused sending any new Sparks offers until we can be sure to give the best customer experience." The company's chief executive Stuart Machin had previously speculated that disruption to the website could last until July.

Grand Opening Celebrates Little Patuxent Senior Apartments in Gambrills
GAMBRILLS, Md., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Street Housing, HRH Holdings, and Good Works will host a ribbon–cutting ceremony on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 11:30 AM to mark the grand opening of Little Patuxent Senior Apartments, a 78–unit affordable senior community at 1074 Crain Highway, Gambrills. Anne Arundel County Council Members Julie Hummer and Allison Pickard will join project partners and community leaders for the celebration. Little Patuxent Senior is a four–story, elevator–served building offering one– and two–bedroom apartments for residents aged 62 and older earning 30–60 percent of area median income. The community is steps from shopping, dining, and essential services and features a fitness center, community room, library, business center, walking trail with fitness stations, bocce court, and outdoor picnic areas. A newly opened Slim Chickens restaurant on the site will cater lunch for attendees. The development was financed with Low–Income Housing Tax Credits from The Richman Group, bonds and Rental Housing Works funds from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, and a HOME loan from Arundel Community Development Services.

"We're proud to celebrate this milestone and look forward to welcoming residents home, confident it will spur similar efforts in other communities." "Little Patuxent moved from contract to completion in five years—four spent on financing and entitlements, one on construction. My hope is that policymakers recognize how efficiently teams like ours can deliver when the path is clear and take steps to expand funding and reduce entitlement friction so we can bring more affordable homes to Maryland faster," said Tim Hoerner IV, Principal, HRH Holdings.

After 46-day cyberattack pause, M&S resumes online orders
By James Davey and Paul Sandle LONDON (Reuters) - British retailer Marks & Spencer resumed taking online orders for clothing lines on Tuesday after a 46-day hiatus following a cyberattack. Shares in M&S, one of the best-known names in British business, were up 3% after it restarted standard home delivery in England, Scotland and Wales for the majority of its clothing range. "It's not the full range at the moment, we've focused on best sellers and newness," an M&S spokesperson said. "We'll be bringing product online everyday so customers will see that grow over the coming days." M&S said delivery to Northern Ireland will resume in the "coming weeks", as will click and collect services, next-day delivery, nominated-day delivery and international ordering. The 141-year-old M&S stopped taking clothing and home orders through its website and app on April 25 following problems with contactless pay and click and collect services over the Easter holiday weekend. It first disclosed it had been managing a "cyber incident" on April 22. M&S said last month it expected online disruption to continue into July and forecast the attack would cost it about 300 million pounds ($404 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. The group said hackers broke into its systems by tricking employees at a third-party contractor, skirting its digital defences to launch a cyberattack. ($1 = 0.7429 pounds)
