Not only is Haswegawa the largest store in Hana, but it truly is a historical landmark, being open for well over a hundred years. From the exterior, it looks as it should: a shack like design, something that one would imagine being from a western movie, but in this case, set in a tropical setting. Today, Hasegawa lives up to its name. The prices are as reasonable as they can get for its remote location and local Maui coffee is sold at a great value. All around, there is a great selection of high quality Maui foods, from spice mixes, to sweets, to teas. So, instead of picking up a magnet somewhere to take home, Hasegawa is a great opportunity to get something delicious and support a small local producer. read more

Hasegawa General Store - The relic of Maui's grocery shopping - Grocery Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

You made it to the end of Hana and deserve a drink reward. Nice country store with a little bit of everything. Bathrooms only for customers but you are better off using the nearby park restrooms for cleanliness. No greetings or goodbyes; guessing they are tired of tourists though they sell a lot of Road to Hana merch. A little bit of history to stamp the visit. read more

Hasegawa General Store - Storefront. - Grocery Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

This joint lives up to its team, the Hasegawa general store. If a swap meet went indoors and moved to a remote place at the edge of a tropical island, this could be it. The T-shirts, the stickers, the postcards are all there along with the fishing equipment, buckets, and bait. The food is there as well nothing exceptional but what do you expect from a general store? The workers and fellow shoppers are friendly enough however everyone is just getting their stuff and getting back outside. No fuss, no muss. It serves a purpose to the local community and is a hub of activity and resources throughout the year. read more

Authentic old style market that doesn't gouge you on prices. It has everything from beer, to JB spot weld. T-shirts, coffee, cups, and cozy's for the tourists. Lots of basic food supplies. It's a wonderful local market. Enjoy it. read more

Far from Waikiki [Hana Maui HI] This is Hana's local and historic general store. Nothing fancy but, to me, historic in remote Hana. We purchased some snacks and drinks here before heading out to our scheduled reservation time slot at the Waiānapanapa State Park. Don't expect a Safeway or Albertson's supermarket. The convenience store has maybe 4 or 5 small aisles and offered a little bit of everything from OTC meds to hardware and auto supplies to produce and cold items. I also bought a souvenir shirt. They have a nice section on the back wall of "I survived Hana Highway" novelty tees (w/ their store logo). Most of the tees were too colorful and flashy for me but I did find one to my liking -- one color LoL! After you make the "Road to Hana" experience stop by and check it out. So glad we were able to stop in. Review #2711 read more

Found some unique items that weren't found in the store across the street but I found many missing here too. Hasegawa was cleaner than the Hana store but they were completely out of frozen goods. Everything was empty except for a couple tubs of ice cream. There was minimal produce with only mushrooms, lettuce and oranges filling the shelves. Alcohol leaned towards wines as opposed to hard liquor. There were distinct items such as t-shirts, sandals, and fishing gear. There were Asian instant noodles and condiments along side common instant items. This store was best for storage as most purchases could be reheated or rehydrated in the future. We bought gallons of purified water as other stores only had bottled or distilled water. The green produce here was quite fresh and I would pair it with some meat products from across the street. We picked up some instant noodles here and we'll return for water in the future. By combining items here with those from Hana market, you pretty much have your basic necessities. read more

If you want to find the worlds best coffee and customer service - COME HERE. Made a wise decision in getting an Airbnb walking distance from this gem of a general store that goes down in history. My boyfriend and I enjoyed supporting all the local spots on the island, and especially in Hana town. Chips, juice, wine, beer, liquor, chocolate, ice cream, even simple souvenirs to bring back home (bought the cutest surfboard shaped cheese board) and the comfiest sandals. But our absolute favorite purchase from this spot was their coffee! They had a couple of different options but we had to take home the Hana Blend Mac Nut. Oh my goodness! The smell alone is delicious. Reasonably priced and always in stock. We were greeted by Don several times and really enjoyed the small talk. Even from California, we continue to support their general store by purchasing numerous bags of coffee because we can't seem to forget the smell and taste of that yummy coffee! I had the pleasure of connecting with Willie today and reminded how kind and helpful everyone there is. We appreciate you! Mah read more

They had my salt I was looking for!! Salty wahine!! The store is pretty cramped inside, but I guess for the town of Hana, this might be the norm? Wouldn't wanna take over all the pretty nature with real estate ^^; I was hoping for more Japanese snacks given the name, but alas lol they did have some bentos in the front, and allowed card as payment. They had hardware, bakeware, souvenirs, some food essentials. Next to the food trucks so you can get your grub on. read more

I been to the FAMOUS Hasegawa General Store just once in my life (back in 2010), and in 2019 I finally made my return to Hana town. Of course anytime you go to Hana, you just gotta drop by the famous Hasegawa General Store! Did ya folks know that there was a song about the Hasegawa General Store???? Check this link out to hear the song.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Qqh8ZV-QQ As you listen to this song, it represents much simpler times in da 808............. When one is in Hana, I believe that there are only 2 stores - 1. The Hasegawa General Store 2. The Hana Ranch Store That's it gang, if you can't find what you need at either general store, then you're basically outta luck, & need to drive back into town somewhere to get what you're looking for. The Hasegawa General Store basically carries a little of this & that..................food items, drinks & snacks, items that you wouldn't think they have, but of course they have it! And the most important thing....... souvenirs to take home to loved ones. Anytime you come to a place like this, garans ball barrens you will experience old time ALOHA from the friendly staff of the Hasegawa General Store! While walking around in the store, I came across some pretty cool t-shirts and decided to pick up a few to take home. Surprisingly, I felt the prices of the t-shirts were pretty reasonable, considering that this store is in the boondocks! Also while taking some photos within the store, my super akamai (smart) Yelp buddy - Lyla D. pointed out to me that some of the produce items were labeled with both Hawaiian, & English names on the items. Pretty cool yeah? Yes, the Hasegawa General store is "Far from Waikiki!"....................... No doubt my friends, and although it's about a 48 mile drive from Paia, to Hana..........it will still take you over 2+ hours to get Hana due to the narrow winding roads, and 1 car bridges. Be careful when driving out to Hana, as I could see some people having a difficult time navigating the roads due to the narrowness of the roads. In fact, while I was driving out to Hana, I actually saw a brand new Camaro (rental car) that slid off the side of the road, and fell into a ditch. Poor folks will probably need a tow truck to get that car pulled out. Aiyah! Anyways, if you ever get a chance to visit Hana, it's totally worth it to see, as Hana is a small peaceful sleepy town. And of course, when in Hana.......................make sure to take the time to visit da Hasegawa General Store! :D read more

Hasegawa is an iconic store in Hana. I belive a lot of people drive all the way on road to Hana for a couple hrs and end up here. You can tell this storr has some history looking at the building itself. Thry carry basic household items and groceries. There was really nothing for me to purchase other than drinks and they are priced pretty high (soda bottle $3). read more

Was very responsive to my request to mail a Christmas gift to me, got my shirts in record time. - mahalo!

When in Hana we always stop here. Love coming here you always feel the aloha here. Friendly and helpful staff. We get things we need if we're staying in Hana. Normally ice and things to drink. Come and support the Hana community and purchase something here. read more

This store has everything you can imagine crammed in. If you can't find something just ask at the front they are guaranteed to have it. Way better than the ranch market across the street. read more

OK I blew it... My memory must have had some synapse problem because I could have sworn you could get rainbow-flavored shaved ice at this legendary all-purpose general store. I have a feeling I was mixing up episodes of Rachael Ray's "$40 a Day" with my own memories when I naively asked the smiling cashier where they were serving the shaved ice. Imagine my sorrow when I was told that they never served shaved ice. Imagine my delight when she patiently told me the places in Hana where I could find some. Service and the motley inventory are what makes this landmark a must-stop for any travelers to this area of the island. You'll need the supplies for that four-hour twist-and-turn drive back to your condo. read more

Hasegawa General Store - Looking at the entrance - Grocery Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

So this is what "old school Hawaii" looks and feels like! Uncle was kind and generous and we really enjoyed our talk story with him. Prices were what you would expect for its location and we have officially found the island chains most expensive gallon of milk (so far) at $12. We thought it was a great spot to grab a few snacks and drinks after our harrowing trip on the road to Hana and really enjoyed the local vibe. Great little selection of souvenirs as well. read more

Hasegawa's is your lifeline to basic necessities, especially if you are visiting beautiful, peaceful, rural Hana. The prices aren't gouged by any means, well maybe for gas, but if you're in a bind, you have to pay up! The original store burned down and location (#2 if I'm not mistaken) is near the original location and is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Hana town. It's within walking distance to Hana Bay, ballpark and Travaasa hotel. Awesome place to grab snacks for the beach or to take back with you to where ever you're staying. They'd do killer business if they had a food takeout counter!! read more

We need to buy some souvenirs of our memorable trip to Hana Road. This was suggested by our local friend. Boy, love our t-shirts design, it simply says plainly our experience. Only few in this modern world still held the store name as general store. It's history carries it all. They sell almost everything, like a hardware, pharmacy, convenience, deli in one package. Price is about average for like us tourists. Their stock is plenty and some unique items are on display that you cant help but buy and take it home with you. read more

It's a general store - hey it's in the name - an institution that has seen to the varied needs of locals and tourists for decades. It's not a restaurant or a gift shop although you will certainly find food ready-to-eat and gifts. Yes, it's expensive, even more so than on other places around the island, but consider the extra effort it takes to bring everything in. So now we've got that out of the way, you can relax and enjoy exploring the nooks and crannies, up and down the aisles. You have a chance to see what old Hawaii was like; it's fading rapidly, with just a few footholds left. read more

Basically there are like two stores in Hāna, three if you count the gas station. Pay attention to the time because these stores do close early by city standards. Great place to stock up on ice (you have to ask the workers for the real big bags of ice for them to bring it out for you) and soda. [SERVICE] No complaints here. Nice, fast and friendly service had no problems and we stopped here about once or twice during our stay to stock up on ice. [PARKING] No problems finding parking though it does get full during certain times of the day. No handicap parking but the entrance is very close by. read more

I don't care what anyone says. I love this little store and love stopping in just to feel some "old school Hawaii"... The workers there are SO friendly and you can feel the aloha. The parking can be a little tight at certain times of the day... like last call for closing. The selection can be small, but hey! This is Hana and it's really far from the Kahului harbor so cut them some slack. Also people complain about the prices.. Yeah, it's a little expensive but remember, you're paying a convenience fee so that you don't have to drive back down the Road to Hana for your beer, crackers and mustard. It's supporting local so feel good about that! They have some of the cutest little souvenirs: hats, t-shirts, postcards, etc. I love the slogan they have on their items: Hasegawa General Store. "Far from Waikiki" (LOL) I also love that the produce has the name in English and in Hawaiian. Who doesn't love to learn and shop?! Uncle and aunty are always smiling and ready to help. They have aloha for all.. so don't forget to bring yours! I love this little store and I hope many visitors and locals support them. See you soon Hasegawa! read more

Aloha is used for a greeting in Hawai'i, but it doesn't just mean "hello" and "goodbye." Aloha is an attitude and feeling of love and compassion and respect. Still confused? Visit the Hasegawa General Store in Hana if you want to experience true Aloha firsthand. It's a general store. They probably have what you need, and that is a blessing in the remote village of Hana. If you have spent time in towns on the mainland that are too small to warrant a Walmart or a supermarket, this place will feel incredibly familiar to you. Its offerings strongly remind me of stores in the Northwoods of Wisconsin where my grandmother lived. The best part by far is the kindness that absolutely radiates from the staff. They make you feel welcome and wanted and even like family. They are happy to explain any of the eccentricities of their store with patience and a smile. There is a reason the parking lot is often packed with families, the whole place is just a big environment of Aloha spirit. I will never visit Hana without stopping here, even if it is just for a drink and an ice cream treat from their freezer! read more

Visiting Hana right now and walked into the store. My boyfriend accidentally walked past their sign that asked customers to sanitize before entering. Cashier working asked if he had sanitized. Boyfriend said no and apologized for not seeing the sign. Cashier rudely replied by saying "the sign isn't there for decoration." Lady, you just lost a customer. We are visiting from NYC so understand the gravity of Covid. No need to talk to potential customers rudely. Didn't even bother looking for souvenirs because of her comment. I understand that many a people have probably walked by that sign without noticing but no need to take your frustrations out on an innocent customer. Highly disappointed by this interaction. read more

Whatever we couldn't find at Hana Ranch Store, Hasegawa had it. They have a lot of non-grocery related items here....cups, pitchers, bug repellant, etc. The bug repellent came in handy as the bugs in Hawaii love the blood of mainlanders. This store was a short walk from our resort, which was next door. Would definitely come here again when we return. Return Factor - 90% read more

I specifically wanted to come to this store, as my maiden name is Hasegawa and I wanted a photo & t-shirt. :). This is one of two general stores in the entire town of Hana.

Spoiler alert! I did read the reviews which also gave me the 4-1-1 on it but it also intrigued me to see it! Read between the "stars" ...you just have to check it out..it's half ways between "iconic and trailer trash"?? There's something so wrong because parts of me did love it! Heck, it's like they took 1001 things from Wal-Mart, 898 things from Safeway, 427 things from Trader Joes and 255 things from Home Depot and the rest from the mom and pop places scattered around Hana and that's Hasegawa General Store! It has a little bit of everything...no lie! And if I lived anywhere near there, I'd probably be there a few times a week! I mean, don't judge until you have been in Hana and know that there isn't much around the area to get the miscellaneous stuff that a house might need! Hubby and I stopped in to grab a bottle of wine and snacks but it's literally a one-stop shop! Not my cup of tea but it definitely serves a much needed purpose! read more

Hasegawa General Store - Brace yourself... - Grocery Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

We went to theis store May 5/2015. Cute little store with a lot of history. Looks like mainly locals around. A quick note before I move on- Be sure to do a majority of your grocery shopping in Kahului. (Especially milk and eggs! Milk was $8.69!) Not only are the basic main items more expensive, THERE IS NO FRESH MEAT. So, if nothing else, be sure to get your fresh meat (pork, chicken fish, whatever) at a grocery store in Kahului (or maybe Paia) Other than that. This general storehas basic items. They do have limited frozen foods, limited fresh vegetables, and some canned goods. Being a general store they also carry basic tools, basic parts, drinks, coffee, ice, candy, and souvenir shirts (Ill get to that next) Their souvenir shirts are cute. I don't know how much of a souvenir buyer you are, but you should consider getting a little gift for yourself or loved ones. We bought 2. They both say "I survived the Road to Hana...Hasegawa General Store, Maui" Plus we bought 2 bumper stickers that say the same. FYI -Credit cards ARE accepted here! read more

so this place has random things from hardware, to frozen and packaged food items, to fishing gear and souvenirs. It is over-priced, but its really the closest place to buy these items for many miles around. I liked the postcards and the books because they were pretty and cheaper than other souvenir items in the nearby stores. If you're buying items because you have no other choice that's one thing, but if you have time to plan in advance I would recommend getting these on the other side of the Island. One cool thing is the bulletin board located just outside the entrance to the store because it has some local news about the townspeople, when food trucks will be closed for vacation, and other important thing occurring within the local town. They also have a bunch of brochures which you can get some info on other tourist activities, but if you really need something ask the people in the store for some tips bc they are super friendly and kind. Just smile and say, "aloha" read more

Appreciative for the wide variety of options available at this local store! You're basically in the middle of nowhere, and at their mercy for quality and selection. Thankfully there are good brands you'd expect to buy in town (on everything from wine to non perishables to souvenirs). Prices are of course higher than a large store in town, but not bad considering the location. read more

I haven't been here in a while but I'd like to write an anecdote anyway. Back in the late 80's, I was a tour driver for Akamai tours for about two years. One of my regular routes was the early AM Hana tour. It would take 2+ hours to round up all my passengers from Ka'anapali to Paia, then we'd hit the road. When we finally got to Hana, a stop at Hasegawa's was definitely in order. One late morning, we stopped there for shave ice for my guests. Outside eating popsicles was Carol Burnett, Kris Kristopherson and Jim Neighbors. Jim currently was a resident and he had a small mac nut farm nearby. On the way by, I gave them a discreet wave and went inside with my guests. On the way out, Kris came up to me quietly and thanked me for not "blowing their cover"--as he loves his fans but NOT when they're having a quiet moment of their own. Hasegawa's is a small but quite eclectic store--as it was at the time the only place in Hana to stock up on it seemed like WHATEVER you needed. GREAT selection of T-shirts as well :) Another cool story of the AlohA spirit :) read more

This is a quirky little place with an unusual assortment of grocery, souvenir, recreation and hardware items. I was really surprised and delighted to find a small selection of gluten free items. Sure, it doesn't have everything, but we are on an island for goodness sake. Enjoy the bounty that is here. If you don't find the grocery item you are looking for, you can try the grocery store up the hill, but this place is definitely worth checking out. Read the bulletin board outside to get a better sense of what the community is like. read more

Bruhh, place is trash. I don't know if it was cause I was a tourist. But, the cashier was being friendly ,to what seemed to be a local, and when I came to the pay for my things. She just stood quite didn't say anything until I greeted hear and sighed heavily, Like if she was tired of existing, and just gave me my change and that was it. She also didn't say a word to my friends as they were buying items. read more

The store clerk was really nice to chat with and they had a good variety of gifts like tshirts, magnets, postcards, and books about Maui. I thought it was cool that they labeled the products with the Hawaiian names as well as English. read more

Hasegawa General Store - Grocery Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

See all

I was just reading the other reviews about the Hasegawa General Store and frankly I was really surprised. What do people expect to find in Hana, a WalMart? No way, all this store is is a cool, old, general store selling water, milk, sandwiches, fruit, cans, postcards, maps, beer and t-shirts. And we loved it. We took a lot of pictures in front of it and in front of the baseball field and the churches and the Hana Hotel and all of the other landmarks. This store is for the tourists and the locals so they have to cater to both. Let them make a living because Hana ain't a cheap place to live and it isn't near anything else so everything you see in the town and in this store have to be trucked in and gas is $4.50 a gallon in Hawaii these days. Someone has to pay for that fuel and that someone is us. read more

LOL! I rolled reading other yelpers reviews of this place. It makes me wonder where/how people find out about it....from a song?! Well, okay...I guess you believe what you see in television and movies, too. So let's review the basic information we all need in order to survive as adults. 1) basic economics----supply and demand---Just like at the airport, once you pass security, where supply is little and demand is high, people can charge the price that the market can get. 2) capitalism---the market sets the prices---Whatever people are willing to pay determines how much someone can charge....think Prada or Gucci, or better yet, our gas prices that are nearing the $4/gallon mark...people haven't curtailed their demand, thus the price continues to rise.... basic supply and demand, along with analyst forecasts, etc. This is the basic thing to remember....it applies all over the globe. Prepare in advance or be willing to pay for it later. As far as this general store goes, I think its cool just to stop in and check it out. It gives me the feeling that I have traveled back to a time when things were done differently...when people bought just what they needed, because that was all they could afford...no frills, no luxury, just dirt, clapboard, bathroom facilities, and a register. One look at the prices, however, will immediately snap you back into the present. That said, this little general store can charge whatever the hell they want, and you get to decide how bad you need/want it. I've traveled over much of the world, and regardless of politics... capitalist/socialist/communist/dictatorship/oligarchy...this is the same...supply and demand...it's the law of our land. You could also think of it as the Wal-Mart effect. So, If you failed to properly supply yourself for any imaginable event that might transpire during your trip up the road to Hana, and you find yourself having to buy something here, you most definitely are going to pay a premium for the CONVENIENCE of buying it in a remote location. Yes, they, too, are paying $4/gallon to have all that stuff transported up that winding, twisting road you just traveled. As far as I know, they haven't installed a heliport in the back. And, they aren't your close friend or family, so they aren't giving you a huge discount. They also aren't Wal-Mart, so the price they pay per item is higher...much higher...because their buying power is low, much like the demand for their goods. Many guide books will warn you of this if you have the foresight to pick one up before you head this way. It's not complex, it's basic economics. Regardless of its old world charm, it's a business, trying to survive like the rest of us. I don't recommend it as a place you should make a trek, simply for seeing the general store. Otherwise, you're going to be pissed that you spent all this time and money getting here. It's just a place to stop in and check out, maybe use their bathroom, buy a bottle of water or pack of gum, on your way to, or from, the 7 Sacred Pools or Haleakala. Please, no more yelpers believing some romanticized lyrics you've heard in a folk song. This is the age of the Internet. We all have a wealth of information at our fingertips. That's why we're here, yes? Oh, and I far as I can remember, they offer free directions and info on the area, as well. That's a bargain! read more
