I always knew of it to be the Pink Store throughout the years of coming here and visiting friends who live in the area. "Let's all make a drink run to the Pink Store!" Its the most convenient store and location for those who live in the upper valley like I do and who don't want to make the drive down to Kam Shopping center. It's a local pop up market where you can get last minute party supplies or even snacks. We usually come here for an alcohol run, drinks, and bags of ice if we're having gathering. You can pretty much find anything and everything here for essentials you may need. Prices do run more than your average supermarket stores but that's what you pay for the convenience of minimal driving or walking there if you live in the area. There lots of parking in the front and it doesn't get busy so people are in and out of there as soon as they get what they need. I'm always out of that place in less than 5 minutes.

Snacktime in Kaneohe, Hawaii…read more.. Somehow, food tastes better when someone else makes it. I CAN make spam musubi, sandwiches, and breakfast... however, it's inconvenient for me to go grocery shopping, prep the items, do the cooking, and wash dishes. I just want to eat and go to sleep after my midnight shift! That's why Little Snack Shop in Kaneohe is perfect for me. Located next to a laundromat across the street from Windward Mall, there's free parking right in front and it's on my way home from work! The only drawback is that it's next to The Clubhouse... haha! Be careful in this industrial neighborhood! LOL! Inside, the shop is neat and tidy. There are a lot of beverages in the refrigerator and some homemade sandwiches. The hot food is in a warmer next to the cash register and some bentos, musubi, and pork hash are ready for takeout. On the shelves are cookies, candies, snacks, and some convenience products and canned goods. I heard that there is a new owner. The older Asian lady wasn't there. Instead, there was a younger gal. She was on the phone and was able to ring me up while holding the phone between her ear and shoulder! Haha! That's a skill! Anyway, I got a spam musubi and a breakfast bento. I really liked this simple comfort food breakfast and it gave me enough food coma to fall asleep and have some good rest! Thank goodness!

This is an excerpt taken from my blog. . .I was so disgusted I devoted an entire blog post to…read moredescribing why The Little Snack Shop sucks. . . Conveniently located next door to the laundromat is The Little Snack Shop. The first few times I ventured to the hole-in-the-wall convenience store, they were closed, even though according to the posted hours they were supposed to be open. Whatever. I could easily drive down the street to Aloha Gas Station for a drink. I always gave the store the benefit of the doubt, figuring it was a small family operation. But then they crossed me. Three times. Reason #1 - No Change For You One day, I went to do laundry and the change machine wasn't working. At that time there was only one change machine in the laundromat. I didn't have any change on me or in my car. I called the laundromat's posted numbers and reached their voice mail and answering machine. It was getting late, and if I didn't do laundry soon, there wouldn't be enough sunlight to dry my clothes for work the next day. I went next door to The Little Snack Shop and was relieved they were open. The lady inside was pleasant enough, greeting me when I entered. I asked her if I could get change since the machine next door wasn't working. She said no and to contact the owner of the laundromat. Her reaction was understandable, because maybe she didn't have a lot of change and couldn't risk giving away her change to all the laundromat patrons. I told her I would buy a snack, and chose two $0.99 bags of sunflower seeds. I brought them to the register and took out a $5 bill. The woman looked at the sunflower seeds and said she couldn't give me change. I told her I was completely willing to purchase a snack. She shook her head and said that she wouldn't sell me the sunflower seeds because I was only buying it to get change. I asked her if she was serious. She said yes and took the bags of sunflower seeds and went to return them to the rack. Oh my. Reason #2 - Yesterday's Paper Is Just As Good As Today's Paper The second time I visited The Little Snack Shop, I wanted to get a Sunday newspaper. I can't remember if it was for the sales, coupons or a specific article, but when I entered the store, the lady looked up from reading her Sunday paper and smiled. She asked if I needed any help and I asked her for a Sunday paper. She said, "We don't sell the Sunday paper." I said, "But you're reading one." She replied, "This is the newspaper for the store. We have Saturday's paper, still." At this point, I was over the conversation and said, "That's okay." As I turned to leave, the lady said, "It's only from yesterday." Like I was being picky or something. I didn't answer and as I exited the store she called out, "You should try Longs." Great. So super helpful. Reason #3 - They Have Dibs on Parking Just today, when I went to do laundry, the parking lot was pretty full. The spaces in front of The Little Snack Shop were open so I pulled into one of the empty stalls. After I got out of the car and was opening the rear driver's side door to retrieve my laundry, I saw the lady from The Little Snack Shop in her car behind me, motioning me to leave. I pointed to the stall next to me and she shook her head. I pointed to the other full stalls and she motioned again for me to leave. Mind you The Little Snack Shop has a reserved stall on the other side of the parking lot, literally like 10 yards away. Sure, I had a choice and could have stayed in the spot, but that wouldn't have been very nice. So I pulled out and drove away to a different laundromat and vowed to write a scathing, I-Would-Give-It-Zero-Stars-If-Possible-Review on Yelp. As I was driving away, I noticed that she had parked so she was taking up the last two spaces in the parking lot. Wow. Terrible on so many levels.

I always grab 6 or so musubis, a couple breakfast bentos and some of their yummy caramel rice krispies to take to the beach for my family. All in all, I love the rotating food selection here.

They also have some great products that don't cost an arm and a leg like at Whole Paycheck. Maybe I should visit all of them now! :) Mahalo Down to Earth Kailua!
