This place is clutch when it comes to easy access for last minute snacks and eats during late nights. They offer array of items like snacks and grocery items and souvenirs. They also offer hot food items in a warmer such as musubi and cool items like sushi and bento in the cooler aisle. The cooler and hot warmer foods look good but I think they are fresh when you get there in the mornings - The warmer gets replenish when needed. Staff here are nice. They are helpful to guests and when needing directions or tips around waikiki. This shop was nearby the airbnb location like 1-2 mins walk. So they offer ABC rewards where you save your receipt and you get free item(s) for spending and saving the receipt, So they open I think about 630am ? and close at 10 or 11pm I think. Now some items here are pricey. You are better off buying at the swap meet or airport for some items. They sell Hawaii Sanrio items here that are only exclusive to ABC stores. The musubi here are about $2ish and its ok tasting but it fills you up. The bottled water on the pic was pretty cheap I think that huge bottle was $1.99 on sale! The cans of Hawaiian sun are $5ish for a 6 can you can mix it up if you want. That was a special price for the Hawaiian sun. This location is across Mcdonalds and by the bus and trolley stops. So yes this is easy access to numerous things. What was pricey was the large bag of Hawaiian chips (maui onion) which was about $8! So ABC stores offer Holo Holo bus passes - its unlimited for 1 day of bus fare. This is ideal if you are using the bus all day. To be honest Trolley and Bus - The bus may take awhile to get picked up from the stops but its AC inside .. The trolley is good but its a trolley no AC and its limited stops. Trolley takes you to lots of tourists traps where the Bus doe not take you to. ABC stores is a ideal last minute place to grab souvenirs but I think the swap meet and airport is way cheaper. I found my FAVORITE PERFUME from here. read more

ABC Superette - Honolulu - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

For a quick and easy dinner, we went here and got our food. One good thing when u come here later, the food is discounted sometimes. I got spam musubi with eggs, spicy ahi tuna bowl and mango tapioca. The food was warm except the tapioca which is cold but they are all very good and just right and not too expensive. Make sure ask the cashier for utensils and they do not provide bag or you can buy one from them, so make sure to bring one if you are buying for the whole family. read more

The super corner store... Not quite the bougiest shop but this shop has a long superette history as I used to work in the Discovery Bay right across the street. Love to see that it's still here after the long covid craziness but being surrounded by not just hotels but condos as well many did flock over here as the nearest supermarket was Ala Moana Center and knew the owners of this shop before ABC bought it and took over. Not more for the visitors rather than the superette it was known for you're still able to find many shelf stable grocery items and some grab and go hot and cold items but remains more the typical ABC Store. The vibe here is more like souvenir shopping zone but still see many folks come here for various items as there's zero parking and is all foot traffic there is always something that you need and probably will find it here. Thank you! read more

ABCs are the corner markets here everywhere. They are the staple like our drugstores in Cali but smaller by far. They have beach towels and any beach stuff you need, macadamia nuts, kona coffee, bentos, sandos, drinks etc. Prices are fairly high, esp on soda compared to CA. $3.99 a 2 liter or 6 pack soda $6.49 ( 7/22). But they are super convienient to get quick eats/drinks, needs or beach gear. They open until 11pm which is really helpful too. read more

Never underestimate this Superette ABC! (insert wink face) See yah later... read more

Oh! Turns out I love this place but was confused it was the place around the corner by the Hilton. Oops! The staff was nice and the security guard was very handsome. Basically the same as my review but no cafe or deli. Good fresh to go bento style food. And the booze selection was on point! We love ABC stores. And our friends on the "Mainland" love the gifts we purchased for them here, read more

Lots of choices. Lots of very overpriced choices. Still, you're going to forget something and you'll need to get the stuff that didn't make it past TSA, right? Beach stuff, cold drinks, sun block, tacky souvenirs, they've got it all. read more

I loved having this ABC right next to our Airbnb. They had everything we needed and staff were all awesome. read more

This was the closest ABC store to the condo we stayed at on our vacation, hence the multiple visits here. Store is clean and employees are very helpful. They had everything you can think of which you may have forgotten to bring with you on your vacation. Plus, food, snacks and drinks. Of course, several souvenirs that you can buy for yourself or family. We couldn't get tickets for Hanauwa Bay, so we bought some snorkel gear and went snorkeling at Sharks Cove. We were so happy to find our sizes to buy and enjoyed our day snorkeling. What I did like was seeing a security guard at the store, which gave me a sense of protection while I shopped. The security guard was just as friendly as the employees. Everyone is greeted here! Hands down, one of the nicest ABC's stores in Waikiki! Thank you! read more

I felt so comfortable in this ABC Superette location because they had the best security on site, just in case. The security was refined, polite, and made me feel as though nothing was going to happen to me nor by anyone on the adjoining street corner. This ABC has (2) two registers all the time so there is never a wait. They have everything locals and tourists may want. read more

Just like a mushroom ABC stores are everywhere in the island. Sometimes they were almost neighbors that it will make you think twice on where ABC store will you visit. I think you need to visit them all. Hahahah (insert funny silly face) ~ Located near Ala Moana Boulevard across MCdonald, this ABC Superette is pretty big and offers a more variety of options base on what you need. This is the most convenience amongst all. Just like most of the consumers, I also love this store coz they almost have all the stuffs that you need esp. from personal hygiene up to hot meals & to souvenirs. Convenient esp. amongst travelers/juanderers. ~ Open until midnight this store offers you great helpful stuffs. Customer service is fair. Others are simply snobbish while others are super nice. I must understand, coz this store also has a lot of people coming in-and-out in here and dealing with different kind of mankind is not an easy job. Of course this is a convenient store so don't expect to be cheap. Tbh their price is pretty high yet in this way, it will offer you retails instead of having bulks. Still, shopping in here is fun just like you're shopping at Target or any stores around. ~ Mahalo & HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers! #juanderbandit.world read more

ABC Superette - Honolulu - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

ABC Stores are all about convenience and service. They've infested Waikiki, yes, but I don't hear any complaints of a far walk from hotels! 95% of the time I'm always greeted when entering, and always thanked when leaving. I can't get that kind of common courtesy in 95% of small, low volume retail stores!? And the prices... Ultra competitive without any gouging based on convenience. Nice. We were staying at The Modern Waikiki, and this location is conveniently located diagonally across the street. It's a good sized locale with easy and safe access. So, hats off to them for selling contact saline, iced tea, water, and snacks, all at great prices, and with friendly and courteous customer service. read more

UPDATE after Dianne's (Managers) response: Hi Dianne, I want to say thank you so much for reading and responding to us about our situation. It really means a lot to my partner and I and shows that you do have the best intentions. We have since left Honolulu, as our vacation has ended, but we feel that it would be right to remove the negative review now. Our few other experiences at the store had been wonderful. Again, we appreciate your thoughtful response and I'll be keeping the review with a 5 star for your store. ORIGINAL POST: My partner and I were crossing the street to get to the abc store before closing. As we were crossing the street one of the employees had begun closing the doors. We walked up as quickly as we could but by that point the doors had closed. I asked the employee through the crack in the door if I could run in quickly to get some Tums for my girlfriends upset stomach. He said they do have Tums but we can not come in. I explained that we were crossing the street when the doors closed and that we only need the Tums because there is nothing else around that is open. To note there were still people completing purchases inside. Regardless, he said no. Not a personable employee. I get everyone wants to go home but it would be nice if some people had a little more compassion. I've shopped here once before and everything was fine. read more

Mix Too touristy clean and organized . But ... Prices ...are crazy ! 4 boiled eggs 5 dollars sorry 4.59 Bread the kind you get in the mail land for 2 -3 dollars is 6 -7 dollars Papaya one cut to two half's 5,90 . One can of soda 2.99! But Good coffee Kona ! And clean ! read more

This ABC is like a mini grocery store combined with a souvenir shop and a liquor store all in one. It is right at the corner of Ala Moana & Hobron - I tell you this, because if you have been to Hawaii you know that in the touristy sections of town there are ABCs every 50 feet! Prices are what you would expect in Waikiki. They are high, but not outrageous. This place is nice because it is close to a lot of the condos so you can go get your milk, eggs, fruit and pick up a beach mat and hulu girl for your dash all in one spot! read more

ABC Superette - Honolulu - Exterior - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love ABC stores-they are the king of convenience stores in the islands. This one is a superette and is larger with more products. The store has tons of fun things to look at-brightly colored Hawaiian shirts, leis, chocolate covered Mac nuts (Yum!). But they also have the essentials like water, other drinks, snacks and a very large adult beverage section-especially for the size of store. We were surprised that they had Meiomi wine-one that we liked. Then later, we ran in there to get that wine to take to a friend's get together. Everyone working there has been so nice & friendly. Like someone mentioned, they welcome you every time you go in and thank you on your way out. They really show the Aloha spirit. read more

I was in town for the Honolulu Marathon. I stayed at the nearby Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai and came here to buy drinks (water and Powerade) for the weekend. As with the many ABC Stores all over Waikiki, I found the selection and prices both to be pretty good. The store was well organized and clean. Each of the cashiers that I interacted with were nice and friendly. read more

I was totally loving this store when I was in Oahu this week. Conveniently located on Ala Moana Boulevard. It is a superstore. They have so many grocery products. All reasonably price. Like a little mini grocery store. However they did not have our favorite salad dressing. Which is a Hawaiian made Papaya dressing . But, you can find just about everything else you might need in a pinch. I did get the papaya dressing at Foodland ,which is just down the street a little bit. This ABC store has everything you would expect to find at other ABC's. But, even more. Always remember, save your receipts at ABC's you can get gifts for every hundred dollars you purchase and more . The staff here was fantastically helpful. I needed some Lilykoi candy. They went to the stock and opened some boxes and got me six out. Exactly what I needed. Love this store quick and convenient. Located right on the corner. The store has been here as long as I can remember. At least 20 to 25 years ago it was there. Remember to take your own bag or buy one for just $.15 read more

ABC Superette - Honolulu - Located right on the corner - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stock Up This location was very conveniently located near the beach and our hotel. When on vacation I always love to turn my hotel room into a functioning bar. Doesn't everyone do that? If no, then why aren't you. You're on vacation and it's time to relax and mix up some cocktails. The store is larger then most ABC locations and stocks more items. It also has a ton of souvenirs if you plan on bringing stuff back for people. I did have to laugh at the Obama key chains. There was one of him playing a ukulele. Does he even play an instrument? I did buy myself a souvenir. There was this great bamboo cutting board shaped like a surf board that I totally needed for my bar in Chicago. There seems to be a theme in this review around adult beverages. I must still be in vacation mode. Not only are there souvenirs for your friends but this location contains packaged food and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can grab some snacks just in case for the room or beach. Let's not forget the wine, beer & spirits section. Yeah I grabbed stuff from all 3 adult beverage sections. I needed to be prepared for fun in the sun. I thought that the prices were not that bad for being on an island. I did see something really unusual. They have an air compressor behind the side counter and they will blow up the inflatable rafts for sale. How cool is that? I have never ever seen a store do that on any tropical island. I must say ABC does it right or at least this location does. So if you find yourself in an ABC store in Honolulu then pop in and stock up on drinks, snacks & souvenirs. The prices are not that bad and are much cheaper then buying things at your resort. Aloha my island friend and enjoy paradise in a convience store. read more

Yes, there is an ABC on every block on Waikiki. For a reason. It tops any 7-11 in any country, except HKg, only because you can find the common basics of your trip. What? Food, booze, clothing, souvenirs, toiletries, and delish carry out! Beach accessories, groceries, you name it, all there! read more

Just one of the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, ABC stores in Waikiki. This one is located across the Hawaii Prince Hotel / Outback / Red Lobster. Fairly large store, with everything the typical tourist/visitor would need - drinks, snacks, souvenirs, beach items, etc. Yes, the prices can be a bit high - but you're in Waikiki, so what do you expect? You're paying for the convenience. If you have a car, and want to save some $, you can head to Longs (in the mall) or Walmart (further up the road). read more

More ABC goodness. In downtown Honolulu you literally come across a different one every 2 minutes of walking. This location is one of the large ones, so if you need souvenirs or other knick knacks, this is probably one of the better ones to go to. You go to one, you go to them all. Tons of Hello Kitty goodness, and everything you need in life under the sun. 'Nuff said. read more

Sure, it's expensive. But it's got everything you need and it's super convenient for any of the hotels in the area. It has alcohol, for sure, but also soft drinks and foods. We actually got some coke on the cheap here-- less than a dollar for a can, and less than two for a bottle! I wouldn't recommend getting your souvenirs here, but I wish I had realized right away where everyone on the beaches was getting their beach toys-- it's here! It's about $3 for a beach mat or inflatable lounger... They sell inner tubes too! A Beautiful Convenience. That's what it stands for, right? read more

The mean older lady sprayed cleaner in the air as I was shopping my eyes burn and it made me sneeze a few times

A convenient place to buy items when visiting the island. We stayed at an Air B&B near this location and we were at this store to many times to count. Although some of the items are higher priced, you expect this in Hawaii. The customer service here is fair. It was busy every time I came in. read more

We stayed at the modern hotel for our vacation. This ABC store was across street from the modern hotel. We've purchased over $300,00 worth of food and gifts. I've nicely asked them to give us a extra bag and cashier # 44765, told us that "they don't give out free bags" I've never asked for free bags, we've purchased over $300that day!!!! Just needed extra bag to separate our souvenirs. We were so disappointed at the end of our trip because of bad service! Bad management. Never go back to that store again.!!!! Beware of bad customer service!!!!!!!! By cashier # 44765 read more

I was at this location and had bought multiple items. The women were dismissive, rude, and have a hard time admitting their wrong. Bad customer service. read more

Have pretty much all the staples you will need during your stay. The only thing i was surprised to see was they didnt have any slippers for kids. Not only limited to this location, i went to several in the area. Finally went to Longs to grab some. Out of a whole wall of slippers, you would think maybe one or two options in case? The prices here are reasonable and they are very packed with gift ideas. Of course they are also very busy, so plan to spend a few extra minutes in line. read more

The workers here are very rude. The cashier was over the top rude. I'm definitely not going back to this place. I've only been in Hawaii for a day so I don't know if just this location sucks are if ABC Stores in general are staffed with jerks. read more

This is definitely the place for every tourist! They have everything here- from snorkel gear to hot food. Everyone visiting needs to check them out. They'll save you lot of money of food expenses or at least for Honolulu area. read more

Great little store , one of the younger cashiers with glasses should smile more shed look good to others

This was a fairly large ABC (and we saw about a zillion when we were here). The prices seemed pretty fair for the things you could get here. We ended up getting some spare groceries for the week and some touristy stuff. Also had good prices on booze if you're up for that kind of thing :) read more

Everything thing you do/don't need at any time of the day at the prices you don't always want to pay! For example a gall of milk is $10.45, you're better off buying items like this at Wal-Mart. This location is across the street from my hotel so we stop here throughout my stay in Honolulu for snacks and water. read more

I think ABC stores have the most stores out of any other stores in Hawaii. I think they can even beat out McDonalds or Zippys for having the most stores. Well, it seems like it is because they are everywhere in Waikiki, in every corner and even in Ala Moana Center. This is the tourist destination and hot spot for convenience stores. Most of the items here I think is kinda over priced such as food, drinks, etc. But what can you say, it's Waikiki and it's meant for Tourists and stuff. Some things, however, are pretty cheap. There was this one time where I needed lighters for a dance project to use as props. They had some Ed Hardy lighters here at a decent price like 2 bucks per lighter. The lighters could even light up. For the dance project, we ended up using the lighters as actually lighters and not with the flame on. The locations is conveniently located on Ala Moana Blvd. right at the intersection of McDonald's and some restaurants. The staff and customer service is aight. I'd rather walk here than drive.

This superette is aptly named, only relative to the many other stores in this chain in Waikiki. It's got a decent alcohol selection & a little more foods than them but so much touristy/gas station convenience "foods"! If you want real groceries & selection, walk a block to the Food Pantry. read more
