It's been years since I last went to Hilo, I wanna say it's been like 5 years or so since I last…read morevisited Hilo town. 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!)..............

They seem to be training well, and creating a good work environment. What stands out most to me is the employees are always really friendly and they seem genuinely happy to work here.

The selection of merchandise is great which is so nice in our area since it is difficult to find good quality and up to date goods. I shop here once a month and I never leave without something.

Pickup is convenient! Do NOT get Shipt!…read more You cannot return items & they do not tell you this upfront. It is extremely difficult to get a hold of a live person. They think noting of telling you an arrival time and then change it to the next day. So, don't count on them if you need something right away. I think shoppers must "claim" your order and several others, so delivery takes a long time. I will not renew my subscription. The one is for the second to last order. It is okay if you never need to return anything. I will do pickup instead.
