Your Industrial Park Neighbors: Kiva

How long has Kiva been in business in the Industrial Park?
Kiva has been in the Industrial Park for seven years. The decision to move and consolidate operations on Goodyear Road doubled our space and supports our GreenGear Initiative™. We can design and manufacture using the most environmentally green means possible.

So, you have moved.
Yes, we moved from our East 2nd Street location in February. We are now at 6440 Goodyear Road.

You manufacture handbags, laptop bags, backpacks, briefcases, luggage and other high-quality travel gear for kids and adults. What is your most popular product at the outlet store?
We have a full range of luggage that compresses your belongings to fit perfectly for TSA regulations. You save that $40 - $80 charge for checking baggage. Our new Ellie line of laptops totes for women, available through Apple Stores, are available here as well.

Another popular item — the key chain pouch that expands into a small tote. (This reporter now has one. This tiny item expanded to a mini-shoulder bag and was perfect for a jaunt to the Torchlight Parade.)

How do you get the word out that you are in the Industrial Park?
We do run the occasional ad, but this outlet is for the community. We are happy to be a part of Benicia and want that relationship. 

Anything else you would like your Benicia neighbors to know? There are good bargains to be had. For instance, this piece of luggage retails at $150 and is discounted to $20.
