    A convenient shop in Waikiki that has practically anything you can think of. This visit I needed to get some water for my long stroll by the beach. I usually go back and pick up some treats to enjoy in my room and buy-stuff to bring back to Ohana.

    Full of treats

    8/2/2017 There are SO MANY of these stores in Honolulu. You can not miss them!! They remind me of Rite Aid or CVS stores, only better. You can buy last minute gifts. What I found out the hard way though is that you can buy some of the stuff that is sold at Dole for much cheaper here!! I wish I knew that before hand!! Save your receipts!! Once it adds up to $100, you get something for free like a souvenir cup. Pretty cool! Believe me, if you will be in HI for a week, it won't be a problem spending $100.

    ABC Stores (off Lemon Ave) ABC is a mix between a convenient store and clothing store. Get your gifts (i.e. pasalubong) here. ABC is a great store for shirts, hats, souvenirs, mac nuts, and snacks at incredibly cheap prices. TIP #1: Spend $100 for a free gift (calendar, mug, and bag) TIP #2: You can't miss an ABC Store. They are everywhere in Waikiki. TIP #3: Closes at midnight

    It seems like there is an ABC Store every 10 feet in Waikiki, they are that numerous. We frequented this location because it was right next to our hotel and it has everything you need as a traveler. Bottles of water, snacks, and souvenirs were our main purchases here. The customer service is excellent and by the last night of our trip, we spent enough during our stay ($100 minimum) to earn a free gift for ourselves. You can choose a coffee mug, a reusuable bag, or a calendar. Open 7am to midnight. Mahalo!

    My family and I was at the beach a few nights ago. It was a little bit passed 8pm and I was hungry. I wanted a musubi but the restaurant that I usually buys it from was closed. I had no choice but to purchase the musubi from here (I went to 2 ABC stores before making my purchase). As soon as I got back to our hotel room, I immediately digged in. After a few bites, I bit onto a piece of rock that was inside the rice. For such a big company with stores all over Hawaii, they need to focus on quality control!

    If there ever was to be an under-the-radar ABC store--a location not prominently stuck on some busy corner near a tourist focal point, this Lemon Road is it! Off a side road near the Honolulu Zoo and behind the Aston Waikiki Hotel, this is a great neighborhood necessity. Even more so, there are several Hawaii hostels that line the alley area that abuts the store. And I am sure those travelers can appreciate the affordable necessities sold at ABC. When I arrived at my hotel, I was famished from not being fed anything but nut mix and a Sprite on the flight over. When I heard there was an ABC down the street, I feasted on one of their Sub Sandwiches and a bag of Maui Onion potato chips There are lots of drink choices at ABC and booze, beer and wine are also sold there. I would load up on juices, milk, yogurt and Gatorade and ditch them in a bowl of ice to stay cold in my hotel room. You can buy cereal boxes, individual muffins and granola bars to snack on. ABC is really a frugal travelers best friend. HOWEVER, I will need to deduct 1 YELP STAR for a very clannish attitude among their sales help, which is primarily Oriental. And when I tried to make a deal for a calender, after having spent lots of money in their stores, they sternly told me NO! One Japanese family started ABC in 1949. Sidney and Minnie Kosasa opened their own drug store, and a chain of drug stores soon followed shortly thereafter. The business plan is modeled on convenient locations selling merchandise and necessities at fair prices. That would include, among other items, groceries, souvenirs, drugs and cosmetics and anything else a visitor would need. I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that the closer to the beach an ABC store is, the more prominently featured out front will be the sunscreen, beach towels and plastic flotation devices. Today, ABC Stores have inundated every major island in the State of Hawaii and the ABC concept has been exported to Guam, Saipan and Las Vegas! I say this with every bit of respect for the incredible business acumen of the Kosasa family: the good ole USA may have been screwed by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor during W W II but we got them back with two big bombs a little bit later. Now ABC comes along and virtually is on every corner of Oahu--sucking dollar bills out of the wallets of clueless tourists and locals alike and replicating itself all over the world. Kudos to the rampant capitalism that our Oriental friends have so successfully used to ABC paradise.

    There are many stories like this one. They except credit cards. This location sells water. This location sells rain jackets. This location does not have a water fountain.

    "ABC Stores -- a good home-away-from-home convenience store full of "stuff". I feel that the Waikiki area ABC Stores needed to be highlighted as a nice tourist support service. The ABC Store #35 next to the Hyatt Place Hotel contained just about anything I 'might' have needed on my Oahu, Hawaii vacation, up to and including chocolate covered macadamia nuts, breakfast cereal, and adult beverages. As it turned out, all we really needed/wanted this trip was some ""good"" Guava Juice ( that you can't find or get in the other 49 or so states ), and souvenirs ( a number of which seemed of decent quality and appropriately priced ). Regarding the Guava Juice: the several restaurants we went to didn't have it on the menu, or had some watered down version. Thanks ABC Stores for your better version.

Their online drops are legendary--beautiful, meaningful designs rooted in Hawaiian culture--but blink and you'll miss them.

The shop is small but thoughtfully curated, with just one of each size available--so every piece feels extra special. There are a few parking spots right out front (a gift in itself on Monsarrat!), and the whole experience feels intimate and intentional. From the hand-printed fabrics to the cultural storytelling woven into every design, Kealopiko is more than a clothing brand--it's a celebration of place, language, and identity.

I saw the reviews of others saying that the service isn't super friendly. I get it. I live with some pretty angry Hawaiians and I get that it's hard to be happy all the time living here and working in an area filled with tourists. The few times I've been here, service has been a mixed bag. But they all get the job done. They'll usually try to give you a new item (instead of the display items) if they have any in stock. I think they are card only. Ofc the most difficult thing about kealopiko is how exclusive it is. They make their clothes in small batches and hand print the material. It's good quality items and honestly less expensive than some other locally owned stores, so I like shopping here. It's just sometimes hard to get your hands on things. I'll definitely be back. I try to follow them on Instagram so that I can head to the store when they do a drop. It was definitely easier when I lived in town.

The brand has a long history in street culture, and this location reflects that identity with a clean and minimalist retail space focused entirely on the clothing. The store layout is simple and well organized, which makes it easy to browse through the collections. Racks feature a mix of graphic tees, hoodies, hats, and other staple pieces that the brand is known for. The designs maintain the classic Stüssy style that blends surf, skate, and street culture influences. One thing that makes this location interesting is the connection between the brand and Hawaii's surf culture. Stüssy originally emerged from surf roots in California, and seeing the brand represented in a place like Waikiki feels very fitting. The shop tends to attract both visitors and locals who are interested in streetwear and limited releases. The environment inside is relaxed and focused more on the clothing itself rather than flashy retail design. What stood out to me most was how the store maintains the authenticity of the Stüssy brand while fitting naturally into the Waikiki shopping scene.
