Super nice staff, got our giant inflatables blown up. Nice selection of fresh fruit and treats. Staff is very accommodating for your needs. read more

ABC Stores #38 - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

ABC stores are basically your one-stop general stores on practically every corner of Hawaii. My wife and I probably stopped at about a half dozen of these places on our weeklong vacation. They're all different sizes, and naturally some of the bigger locations have more in terms of supplies and souvenirs than some of the smaller stores. This particular location had a pretty nifty beer and wine selection that I hadn't noticed at some of the other locations. It seems like they were trying to market to the people who didn't want to buy the overpriced alcohol at the myriad of nearby hotels. read more

Love the ABC Stores! As is commonly known, the ABC stores are everywhere in Honolulu. This one in particular had the items I needed on my trip. Skincare essentials in the hot Hawaiian sun including lip balm, sunscreen, and water. I visited a couple times-- had fun trying on a couple different lotions, etc. I love the ABC stores for being so conveniently located around Honolulu and much more. Great prices too. Friendly staff. I'm definitely a fan! read more

My wife and I ordered food. I ordered the special and was told that I get 2 scoops of rice and one side. I was later today that it can with mash potatoes. I told her that I was unable to eat potatoes and asked for rice instead. (Also the little potatoes left did not look to appetising.) I was told I couldn't change and it had to be mash potatoes. After a second try, I cancel the whole order which the cook was pleased as she started on my wife's order. I guess that this ABC store doesn't need my 30 dollars so I spent it where it was wanted. Over rice, pretty petty! I will continue to spend my money elsewhere for the remainder of my trip. read more

I have such a soft spot for this popular chain of shops in Hawaii. They literally have everything you'd ever think of needing wanting buying ... from subsidies to cardigan gifts stuff to wear, eg. I forgot to pack my tank top and my husband forgot his swimming trunks, and of we go. Mosquito repellents, and drinks and snacks. There's one of these on every block--no exaggeration, and did great reason. The prices are more than reasonable. read more

Great convenience store with equally great selection of products and customer service workers! Thank you!

ABC Stores may be thought of as "For the tourists ", but I enjoyed picking up a couple of things there and awhile. Waikiki store has cute t-shirts for $5.99 really cheap for Waikiki. I picked up some shorts on sale and a bag I really like. You just have to be selective. read more

We visited about 6 different ABC stores to pick up things we needed and a few souvenirs for family and friends, our son Matt likes to cook with interesting herbs and spices, we got him a 3 pack of different salts black salt from Hawaii and 2 others from Hawaii that I cannot 'member, my wife got her some plumeria hairclips to keep hair from blowing across her face...and a few headbands for the same purpose. They sell a little bit of everything. read more

Ok I LOVE ABC stores. Especially getting a multi use bag after spending a certain amount. The sushi is superb for this type of store and always fresh, the stores truly have everything--from shampoo to chocolate covered macadamia nuts, tee shirts, other souvenirs and the pre-made Mai Tai in a small bottle (for 1) is out of this world. Staff seem really happy any hour of day, if there's a new product they're keen to tell you, and check out is quick and easy no matter how long a line looks or how many people are in a store. read more

This ABC is located in the Imperial Resort on Lewers. It just went under major renovations. It took over the space formerly know as the Cellar or Jazz Cellar (for you older folk). Along with your normal sundry items and touristy stuff, they now have a deli that sell sandwiches. They also have hot items, such as fried chicken, burgers, bentos and hot dogs. Its expensive, but what isn't in Waikiki. Seems like one of the biggest and best ABCs in Waikiki. read more

Hawaii has an unbelievable number of these convenient ABC stores all around Waikiki. The times we went in, the store was always bustling with activity and they generally had exactly what we needed. They are sort of like the CVS or Walgreens stores stateside but without the pharmacy. They have all sorts of knick-knacks, cigarettes, hard liquor, beer, wine, beach stuff (t-shirts, sun tan lotion, inflatables, cover-ups, etc.), energy drinks, water, a limited selection of fresh food to go, and a small little grocery department. So pretty much anything you need while vacationing you can find here. This store on Lewers was really nice. The store was clean and well-stocked, the employees were friendly. read more

I like getting my Aloha water here. Cold and reasonable. The donuts to lay out in is good because they will blow it up for a dollar. read more

I LOVED ABC- Whole Foods quality with the convenience of 7-11 and the customer service of Costco.

This ABC Store location is an ESPECIALLY large one with a huge selection of foods, snacks, knick knacks, clothes, souvenirs, and freshly made deli sandwiches and even pizza! While there literally seems to be an ABC almost on every block in central Waikiki, this one stood out as one that beckons you to browse just for the heck of it! (P.S. There are TWO ABC Stores on Lewers Street practically across the street from each other. This big location is toward the end of the block near the Denny's.) read more

ABC Stores #38 - 3 unique ways to get Lay'ed in Waikiki! - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I cannot express how amazing this staff is. I went on vacation 2 years ago and my boyfriend at the time bought me the cutest little turtle necklace. I wore it almost every day since I got it.. but then one night I took it off to go swimming and couldn't find it. I was soooo upset! I called the store because I wanted a very specific color for the necklace (so that it matched the previous one I had) and the lady one the phone went OUT OF HER WAY to contact another store to get the exact necklace that I wanted and then shipped it out to me herself. I cried when I got it in the mail last night! You have no idea how kind this woman was to me on the phone as I described the necklace to her. She called the other store, as promised, and called me back a few days later to get my address. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This store and it's entire staff are amazing!! I will sing their praise forever! read more

Not all abc store locations are as good as the one on lewers street nearest to halekulani. It's located in the driveway of a hotel across the street from the Embassy Suites. This place is where to buy breakfast lunch and or dinner: Must try: Spinach and ham burrito with hash browns (tiny cut up pieces of potato, well seasoned) - $8.99 Ham and cheese omelette with white rice - $6 Somen salad Musubi (salmon and sea kelp and plum) our abc must every time. Spicy ahi sushi And the different salads... Coffee is good and cheap too. read more

Two times in a roll this place has screwed up my order. This place has a communication problem. Make sure you check your order when ordering from the deli. As a local this was my favorite place to go. Sorry to say that I'm avoiding this place from now on. read more

ABC Stores #38 - Charged for a chicken breast but NO chicken breast in the bag when I got home. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Shaka! They have self serve dole whip! $3.99! This is the best ABC Store in Waikiki. Everything you need plus more! The island has a ban on plastic bags, so be prepared to pay for a bag anywhere you go...better yet buy a reusable bag here and go home with a souvenir too! Mahalo! read more

The guy throws up a closed sign when I was clearly waiting second in lime - re ran to look at the cigarettes on the other cash register - how rude - I look like a tourist today read more

ABC Stores #38 - Threw up this sign when I was still in line @abcstores - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is one of the best stores in the massive swarm of ABC stores in Waikiki. The beer selection was top notch and the price was not cheap but much, much better than anywhere else. They had 22 ounce bombers from Coronado Brewing, Mission Brewing, Stone Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Belching Beaver and so many more. I grabbed one on every trip from the hotel to the beach, and again on the way back. The spam masubi on the cheap was the perfect snack on the go. The spirits and wine selection is also very impressive in size, variety and quality. If are in the area and need to hit an ABC store this one is worth seeking out. read more

You can't be mad at a place that has everything when you are in Hawaii PLUS has Dole Whips in it !!! The deli section is well stocked but the sandwiches are hit or miss . read more

This location (under the imperial resort on Lewers) is the biggest most accommodating abc in Waikiki. It has everything from the normal abc stuff to a full service deli including hot food such as fried chicken etc. Way beyond musubi and hot dogs. Reasonably priced as well! We got a sandwich trio on mini croissants for 12 bucks. read more

First sight, this ABC store looks amazing. I looked at the prices I was like damn... I'm not a frugal person but I know what things cost and when I'm being hustled. I was really iffy shopping here. The gift shop for touristy stuff is not badly priced and there are sales. The liquor and food is another story. WAY overpriced. For an individual Chobani yogurt about $3.99 EACH. Normal grocery stores $1.50-$1.99. A gallon of Crystal Geyser water $5. A normal grocery store $1.50-$2... Ya the hustle... Anyway, there's also a deli too. In the evening, the leftover prepared food (teriyaki bentos Musubi) is discounted about 20%. If you have a car, I would go to the Walmart a couple miles down the way to buy basic groceries. read more

ABC Stores are your one-stop shops here in Wakiki. From here you can get sunblock, bug spray, aloe vera, and even dole whip! (but only at this specific location). I wouldn't normally write a review for a convenience store, but this one's special. Here they have a self-serve dole whip machine near the back of the store. It's advertised as $3.99 for 5-ounces but they don't weigh it! So, let the friend who's an expert at stacking that dole whip operate the machine so you can maximize your dinero here! read more

ABC Stores #38 - The dessert matches my shirt - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Holy crap, I didn't know there's an ABC Superstore! This place is huge! And to top it off, they have a made to order deli. Whoa! I've only had their breakfast and it's pretty basic but good and reasonably priced. I would go back again and again. read more

Bought their $30 beach umbrella and crossed the street to beach. Fifteen minutes after I set it up, the wind literally bent it in half, making it completely unusable. Crossed back to store, thinking they probably wouldn't want to refund me, but maybe they'd give me store credit, or, at the very least, replace the very obviously broken umbrella. They, rather rudely, refused all options. So, if you want, buy the simple things -- drinks, snacks -- but don't bother buying anything on the higher end, as its quality will be next to trash. read more

Located perfectly. And this specific ABC store has everything you could think of from alcohol to the sandals and swim trunks I forgot at home for a decent price too. read more

We're not sure what ABC stands for or if it's an acronym at all. In the area I grew up, ABC stood for "Alcohol Beverage Control" and its a government controlled liquor store. In Honolulu, we'd guess it stands for "Awesome, Bountiful, and Cheap!" because this place has it all for great prices. This store was a lifesaver. Despite being so convenient and located in one of the most expensive streets we've ever visited, ABC has a huge selection for very fair prices. We searched the island and only found one place with a cheaper six pack (only a dollar at that). Dole Whip is cheaper than at the plantation. Food is inexpensive (they have hot dogs for less than $2 - we didn't get one though). Coffee is better than Starbucks and half the price. Souvenirs are cheaper than most shops and are a quarter of the listed price at airline stores. They have some great promotions too. We almost completed our free coffee card (only one punch away). We shopped here thirteen times and spent almost exactly $100 (this included adult beverages, snacks, toiletries, and gifts for coworkers/family). We know the exact amount, because you get free gifts if you spend a certain amount of money (we picked up a luau coffee cup). Add all of this up and combine it with some extremely friendly employees to earn five solid stars. Keep up the amazing work! read more

This is a huge ABC store. The only one with dole whip. The people are so friendly and helpful.

Good variety of products for a convenience store including wine and fresh made sandwiches. They are all over - pass one and there will be another one on the next block. read more

This ABC store is the best of the BEST! From the clothing to the memorabilia. To the Omiyage gifts from Hawaii to the endless alcohol drinks. The deli they have is Awesomeness for sure. From sushi to Poke to fresh LOCAL food! The fried chicken they have is totally ONO! I work right there & in there about 10 times a day! I see ALL the tourist in there from the time they open til the store closes ALL the local Hotel workers around spend a lot of time there not to mention ALL the construction workers. Everyone goes there to get their LOCAL plate lunches! From pork adobo to shoyu chicken to prime rib to fries rice & the best one...GOTEBERG MUSUBI. The Employees there are on too of it too! Always so helpful. LOVE ABC read more

Whenever I go on a trip to the Mainland and tell people that I'm from Hawaii, just about one out of every three people I meet will say "Oooo I love those ABC stores!" And I of course think to myself "WTF?!" We've got 80 degree year round weather, amazing beaches, wonderful people and the first thing you can think of is the ABC store? Ummmm okay. But when you're in Waikiki for a vacation, staycation, a meal or a day at the beach, inevitably you will be forced to go to an ABC store. They're like Gremlins. It rained in Waikiki and now they're everywhere! On practically every block you walk down you'll find an ABC store where you'll be able to fill your little blue basket with sundries and souvenirs. I will admit I've been to my fair share of ABCs and at this particular store I had the best customer service. It was 11:30 pm at night and I wanted to grab some bottled water, sodas and snacks. While perusing the beverage section a nice ABC worker asked me if I'd like a basket and he was most helpful. You just don't expect that at 11:30 pm at night. People who work the night shift at most stores are cranky as heck. I know I was for sure! I headed to pay for my items at the cashier stand and the women working were so nice! Dare I say they were energetic and enthusiastic about their jobs? How can this be?! Am I on punked and is Ashton Kutcher going to jump out from behind that stack of chocolate macadamia nut candies? Is that show even still on? Am I completely out of touch with pop culture? Are you even still reading this rant about a random ABC store? read more

My favorite ABC store in Waikiki; always well stocked. But I had 2 unauthorized charges on my debit card the same nite I shopped there!! Thankfully it was a prepaid card so they could only steal so much. Time to find a new store or stick with cash there...smh read more

So this trip to the ABC store was literally just for a parking validation for the Royal Hawaiian parking garage. (I'm being honest.) We got here around 10:30 and the place was packed! Not really surprising because when other places are closing, the ABC store is packed with tourists just trying to get a reasonably priced sandwich and drink after getting dropped off from the luau. For a store in Waikiki, they aren't that expensive compared to 7-11 when it comes to food and drinks. This place is a great one stop shop for tourists when you think about it. Food, drinks, souvenirs? Wow! No need to waste time shopping and you can spend more time checking out all the beauty Hawaii has to offer! Customer service in this store is on point. There are people constantly stocking the shelves as fast as they can. There was a clerk making sure that the cold food was being fronted and not expired. All the cashiers were at the registers. We took our purchases up to the cashier and presented our parking ticket. Our friendly cashier informed us that we needed to have a minimum purchase of $10. (Our two coffee drinks were only $5.) We grabbed an insulated bag that was on special, and that tipped us over! Yay! I honestly don't know if I will be back. I'm not often in Waikiki, but if I do need a validation for the Royal Hawaiian, I know where I will go to first! read more

These stores are very expensive. They are probably between 2-3 times the price compared to items you can purchase at Foodland. Don't be caught in this tourist trap. Find a Foodland! read more

Like everyone says. There is an ABC store everywhere in Waikiki. Even our bus guide on our way to a luau made a joke that they are everywhere, more than Starbucks or 7-11's. This is the ultimate convenience store. Snacks, souvenirs, alcohol, magazines, toiletries are just a few things you can find there. I myself was a frequent shopper there because I had this nagging cough. The funny thing is that they had the cough drops in the candy aisle. I had the darnest time finding the cough drops until I asked for help. Unfortunately, they had only the roll of cough drops not the bags. So I bought a bunch of rolls. For the week, I probably had at least 15 rolls of cough drops. Nothing is sexier that kissing someone with menthol breath. They also give you gifts if you spend enough money during the week. So hold on to your receipts especially if you make some big purchases at the ABC store. I think for a hundred bucks you get a calendar or a mug. I didn't spend enough at the store for the week to get any gifts but that is okay. I didn't need a calendar or another mug anyways. Doesn't mean that it still isn't cool that they have something for free to anyone who spends some serious cash there. read more

We were walking back to our hotel after a strenuous couple hours shooting the curl and hanging ten when we realized how starving we were. The plan was to head over to Kapahulu to check off another local joint from the eating list after we cleaned up, but my stomach informed me I wouldn't make it that much longer. As my stomach told me this, the rest of my body caught on to the game and refused to carry me back to the hotel until it was attended to first. I needed an ABC store. Quick! Thankfully there was one within a few steps, but when you're in Waikiki, when is an ABC store not. I could have run a marathon after only that first bite. Spam musubi, official energy bar of Hawaii. read more

Its like any other ABC store on every street in Waikiki except for one thing. The lady at the cash register. We stayed in Waikiki Park which is steps away. We came here maybe 4 times during our stay and every time we hoped she would ring us up. I think her name was Ester but I could be wrong. She was so funny and sweet, even if she was hitting on my mestizo husband :). She IS the face of this ABC store. I hope shes there when we come back! read more

This is the known ABC Store that sells everything a tourist or local resident would come to for snacks, souvenirs, drinks, etc. I definitely came to this store more than ten times during my trip in Waikiki and it's right across from Embassy Suites. The fresh papaya I bought from the deli which was ready to eat was very fresh and sweet - it's a reasonable price since you can't get any fresh fruit for cheap around Waikiki unless you drive to a farmers market. read more

Wow it has been a long time since I have been to this store! This store is located next to Denny's on Lewers street in Waikiki. I guess they remodeled this store and it is absolutely awesome in here. They have everything, and the prices are very reasonable. They even have a deli inside this store where you can get fresh deli meats, salads and local style food. They have so many options at this store, and because of this it is now my favorite abc store. They have a great selection of healthy food, with some tasty looking sandwiches and wraps. Their liquor section is also amazing and the set up of the section is very nice looking. All the employees in this store were very professional and make you feel very welcome! If you are in the area this store is worth the stop if you are looking for a snack or just some water. read more
