Whenever I'm in Hilo, I would come to this little strip mall called - "Hilo Shopping Center", just for two reasons - 1. Lanky's Pastries..........this is my all time favorite local bakery in Hilo. As I always would come here for their Cream Buns, Glazed Donuts, & Monkey Bread. 2. First Hawaiian Bank (Hilo Branch), as this is my customer...........it's just like I get paid to visit my friends, and while I'm at the bank, it just so happen for me that I have to fix something for them (while I'm visiting). :D Aside from these two businesses, I've seen a lot of business come & go from this little strip mall. On my recent visit this past Friday, I was pretty shocked at how empty the mall looked like when I took a quick stroll inside of the mall. Established back in 1961, the Hilo Shopping Center was the 1st shopping center on the Big Island, and from looking at the strip mall directory, they currently have the following businesses listed here - 1. First Hawaiian Bank (Hilo Branch) 2. Lanky's Pastries - I went here on Friday (12-4-2020), and they were closed. I hope they didn't close down permanently??? 3. Island Naturals Market & Deli 4. Kamana Kitchen 5. LV Tech 6. Optical Dispensers 7. CVS Longs Pharmacy 8. ACR Dollar 9. Restaurant Miwa 10. Sole Comfort 11. The Orient Connection 12. Diva's Boutique 13. Liberty Tax 14. Edward Jones 15. Bayada Home Health Care 16. Keiki Dental Specialists 17. National Fire Protection 18. Hilo Air Conditioning & Repair 19. Yoga Center 20. Native Nations Education Foundation 21. AlohaCare 22. Diet Center 23. Hilo Family Dental Center 24. Hawaii First Community Resource Center 25. Hawaii First Federal Credit Union 26. Sunlight Cafe 27. Hawaiian Brain Freeze 28. Jin Ju Hair Salon 29. Institute of Acupuncture 30. Happy Valley Seafood Restaurant I'm not sure if all these businesses are still in business, as the mall sure looked pretty empty. Of course we are in the middle of a pandemic, so I'm not sure if a few businesses had to closed down for now, until safer times. I am hoping my beloved Lankys Pastries will reopen one day.........I kid you not gang, I actually stopped by Lankys (2) times on Friday!!! I first came by Lankys Pastries around 6:45 AM, but when I saw it was closed, I was thinking maybe I had come here too early in the morning, and that they had not opened up yet. Then later that afternoon, around 1:00 PM I swing by Lankys again after leaving K's Drive In, thinking I'd stop by for my Cream Bun fix. This time after parking & getting out of my rental car & walking up to the bakery...........the bakery was closed, but the bakery items/shelves were still in there. Please pray with my that Lankys is just closed for a short time, and not permanently........Aiyah! (Sad Panda Face!)..............

We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

Best vintage aloha shirt selection in Hilo…read more I didn't expect much from the casual storefront with emphasis on kids and women's clothes, but to my pleasant surprise I discovered the most carefully curated selection of designer vintage aloha shirts on the street. I went into all the vintage shops on that block, and Stella's place had the most prime assortment of men's Manuheali'i, Reyn Spooner, Tori Richard, and Sig Zane aloha shirts. Shirts were fairly priced according to rarity. I found 6 I wanted but rationed myself to 3: a long sleeved Manuheali'i, a short sleeved Manuheali'i in Christmas red, and a Reyn Spooner. Woman owner said Stella is no longer with us, but she is Stella's daughter. I appreciated that she was willing to give an opinion on each shirt as I tried them on. Pricing may be negotiable on multiple purchases? I just paid the marked price on my 3 selections since it seemed reasonable. Only one small changing stall so you have to wait your turn; a second changing room would be a nice improvement.

I first started shopping here in 2005 when I was living in Keaau but I keep going back whenever I'm in town. Now granted if you show up when a cruise ship is in town then definitely things will get sparse but the brands and things they carry in here are the BEST. Of course like every store, especially BARGAIN stores, it's gonna have it's good days and bad days but luckily for me, the Ross angels always smile upon me and I find the coolest stuff. For those who don't know, here's some tips about this store: - You need to take some time in here to go through everything. That's when you find the killer stuff. I've gotten Via Spiga shoes for $8, Armani pants for $5, guess jeans for $1, Calvin Klein sweater/shrug for $6 and lots of other brand names you see in Nordstroms sold here. -You have to go with no particular items in mind. If you came here with a specific item in mind that you want, you'll probably be disappointed, but if you just come and let the spirit guide you, you're gonna find some great things. Just recently, I got my sister a $250 Speedo Parka (the kind swimmers wear at meets and/or you wear at a football game on the mainland) for $15. She's been wanting this too and how random is that I found it here?!? -I found that the non-island essentials are the cheapest; long sleeve Ralph Lauren polo shirts, leather jackets, sweaters, suits, etc. I've noticed that it's the super high end brand names in winter/cold weather styles is what's plentiful and cheapest here. Slippers, jean shorts, tanks and bathing suits are never gonna be on sale here and are usually the tourists/locals first choice items so you might find yourself better off at a Macy's 1 day sale for price and selection. At any rate, Ross ain't for everybody and it's definitely not a Macy's or Neiman Marcus, but it's clean and friendly enough. It's a bargain hunters playground!
