    We walked here from Matsumoto Shave Ice... LOL
    Nadine C.

    Shopping in Haleiwa, O'ahu, Hawaii... My friend from Los Angeles wanted to go to this store called: He Is Greater Than I Their logo looks like HEKI - with the K backwards to make a "greater than" symbol It's a cool concept which reminds us of the relatively of our place in the world. Well... That's how I interpret it. Anyway, we had parked at Haleiwa Store Lots. We didn't want to lose our space, so, we walked all the way to He Is Greater Than I. LOL! It's kind of far when the sun is blazing down and there's no real sidewalk. It's like on the far side of the town... Maybe about a mile? Haha! When we got to our destination, we saw the shared parking lot with the post office. We sat in the cool air conditioning for a while and browsed through the tank tops, towels, notebooks, tote bags, stickers, and other merchandise. My friend bought a lot of things like long sleeved t-shirts. He was really happy! I was, too! The service was very friendly and the selection was really good! (Too bad there were no XXL shirts for his wife.)

    Quality/Quantity - My family really likes this brand, but they usually buy from their online shop, so it is nice to be able to go to a physical location. Especially since I am old schooled and like to feel and try on clothes before I buying them, Got a tank top - of course since I am in HI. My wife got a t-shirt to match my daughter. And you can buy a bag for an extra $1 with a purchase. Atmosphere - Open 6 days a week, closed Sundays. Service - Excellent. Price - $27 a shirt, $1 bag with purchase; expensive, but we are paying for the message. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2003 (founded the concept) and 2008 (first shop), my family loves the message.

    HE is greater than i has been the greatest gift to beautifully express ourselves. Located in Hale'iwa town next to the post office this beautiful concept came about to encourage and inspire to spread the goodness along with the Aloha spirit. I feel so blessed to have them available to express ourselves in the most creative way. Men, women and kids clothing, accessories and stickers I get compliments on any of their products, love love love you are also the greatest and I thank you!!

    If you are an believer in He is greater than I then this is your store. Very cool logo on an assortment of high quality surfwear for the whole family or surfers who believe in our great god. Hats, T-shirt's, rashguards, stationary, beach bags and plenty of cool accessories. Two changing rooms to try things on. Has its own parking lot.

    It was a major bucket list to swing by this place and WOW WOW WOW! We almost bought one of everything; no lie. We loved being there LIVE to shop versus online. The staff were super kind; they asked where we were from and were "fascinated" because we apparently didn't have "Texan accents" - lol - we still have the shirts we bought from there and sadly we lost the stickers as we sold our car; we really need to order more stickers for our new cars. I highly recommend shopping here; the quality of the merch is amazing!

    I had no idea this place was so great! I had wanted to drop in but seem to miss the times they are open so I went on line to look at their gear. I ended up with 12 items in my cart! Beautiful goodies for my entire family, including a couple stickers for my son. I had sent a question which was responded to immediately and my order shipped right away. This is the aloha I expect from a local store and I am happy to say HE is greater that i has aloha to spare. The merch is wonderful (quality) as well! Thank you for being an exceptional business and people.

    Personally, I haven't been to the physical store, but I was an online customer back in 2009. The product I ordered was unfortunately on back-order. However, that extra time allowed me to contact the owners and switch my order from a red shirt to a blue one (my favorite color). Then it was delivered to me with no problem at all. They included a few more things in my care package that I shared with my other friends who also love the brand. This business is different from any other one I've dealt with in the best way possible. I think they have great values and are focused on giving the customers the best service they can provide. I will be coming back one day, I'm sure. Soon as I get a new motorcycle to put the sticker on. Trust me, it's good to remind yourself that someone's got your back at all times.

    My boyfriend and I were excited to visit the original HEI store since we needed to stock up on some new shirts. I bought a crew neck sweater which is so soft and comfy, I also bought a t shirt but from the men's side in a small, I wasn't a big fan of the women's t shirt colors and design but I personally prefer to wear t-shirts that have a high neck compared to a v-neck, prices are very reasonable, a shirt is only $25 and my sweater was only $45, for original design I'd say that's not bad at all. Customer service was top notch and friendly, and I spent most of my time petting the cats outside the shops. Thank you HEI for your great message and quality clothing.

    What an awesome surprise I have in here!

    I love this store. By have fantastic merchandise with the same theme as the store name. From shirts to sweaters to snap backs to lanyards to stickers to notebooks, they have a nice selection of HEgreaterthani apparel and merchandise. They don't have a larger selection, so you cannot be super picky. But everything they do have is AWESOME. I've purchased three shirts, a couple sweaters, a SnapBack, two journals, countless stickers, and a couple keychains from them. The employees are always helpful, polite, patient, and kind. They are super chill. Parking is easy to spot and usually has room even during peak hours. The price of merchandise is a little on the high side, but not too bad. You're getting pretty high quality for a moderate price. Price and selection limitations are the only drawbacks for me.

Yes, they have lots and lots of bikinis in many styles, colors and sizes. Even a chart that shows the amount of "cheek" exposed based in the cut. They have lots of clothing, too. The cutest jumpsuits and rompers, so easy to put on and immediately be ready to go wearever. And dresses if every length from mini to maxi dresses. Of course there are lacy beach cover ups, t-shirts, totes, hats, and even some jewelry, most with colors of the sea. With the racks of clothing there doesn't seem to be a code for how the items are organized! Different colors, lengths and patterns of different items all on the same rack in no apparent order. Take your time to go through them and find one that speaks to you. They really are quite pretty. The young lady working that day was super friendly, engaging in conversation as I shopped. I particularly loved the light maxi dresses in various beach patterns - tie dye, florals, soft colors. And the jewelry, specifically the long dangly earrings with pale blue stones. I have so many earrings in colors of the sea that I had to pass on them this trip. But I will be back! Have someone snap your pic in the bikini board out front for a memory of your trip to the North Shore!

We left happy with our items. Shortly after realizing these alerts were to take serious and we would need to get to higher ground, we headed for our transportation, which was the bus. The bus wasn't coming anytime soon and we knew we were far from our hotel. Something told us to rush back to Merv! Thank goodness we did, he and Hunter graciously let us hitch a ride into their town Mililani, where we would be safer while we waited things out. Merv's kindness just continued and he and his family gave us shelter into their welcoming home! They showed us Angelenos what the Aloha spirit is. If you are on Oahu visiting, go to the HIC store in Haleiwa and you just might meet a real life hero - Merv!

My personal favorite is April, she is one of the owners and I love when she helps me with gift ideas!

A children's bookstore should feel magical. It should feel like curiosity, discovery, imagination and the joy of finding something unexpected. For years, that's exactly what this place felt like. The people working here used to introduce us to local authors. They'd recommend books we never would have picked up on our own. They'd engage with our family. They'd make the experience feel special. This visit felt like the complete opposite. We arrived shortly before closing with our children. That's on us. We weren't expecting anyone to stay late. We weren't expecting special treatment. We simply wanted to browse for a few minutes and hopefully buy a few books. Instead, we were repeatedly reminded how much time was left. "Can I help you?" "You have about five minutes." "Anything I can help you find?" Over and over again. Not in a warm way. Not in a helpful way. Not in a "let me help you find something before we close" way. In a "please hurry up and leave" way. The saddest part wasn't even what was said. It was what wasn't. Nobody greeted my children. Nobody asked what they liked to read. Nobody pointed them toward a favorite book. Nobody shared a local recommendation. Nobody created even a single moment of wonder inside a children's bookstore. And just like that, the magic disappeared. The irony is that bookstores aren't really selling books anymore. You can buy books anywhere. They're selling atmosphere. They're selling community. They're selling the feeling that wandering through shelves is still worth doing in an age when everything can be ordered online. That's why this visit was so disappointing. The books were still there. The shelves were still there. The store was still there. But the warmth that made the place special seemed completely gone. After years of visiting and happily spending money here, I walked out feeling like my family had overstayed our welcome. For a children's bookstore, that's a surprisingly sad thing to feel. We won't be back. Update after the owner's response: The response mostly proves the problem. My review was never about the exact minute we walked in, whether closing procedures exist or whether the shop prefers to be called a children's retail store instead of a bookstore. Those are technicalities. The issue was hospitality. We came in with our kids ready to buy before leaving the North Shore. Instead, the visit felt managed, rushed and oddly defensive. Explaining the drawer, the folding, the vacuuming and the five minute window may explain the staff's priorities, but it does not change the customer experience. Future customers can decide for themselves. My point is simple: a children's shop should know how to make families feel welcome. This visit did not.
