A Chinatown institution is shutting down this weekend, a loss for longtime customers and one more empty storefront in Honolulu's historic district.

• The shop, known for Chinese preserved fruit and dried snacks, is closing after 66 years on Bethel Street.
• The owner, its third, ran the store for 26 years and is retiring because of health problems.
• The past two years were the hardest — she cared for her husband through Parkinson's, then hurt her back after his death.
• Remaining stock is selling fast, with the preserved plum and cherry jars already gone.

Outlook: The last of the inventory clears out this weekend, and Chinatown loses one of its oldest family-run shops.
