    New Orange Paint on Hygienic Store
    Laura S.

    No way, I'm the first person to get to write this review? Awesome! If you didn't grow up on O'ahu, you'll probably think this is a strange sounding name for a store. I still can't figure out why they called it that... the name makes it sound like they must specialize in "sanitary" stuff" like toilet paper or tampons, which never seemed to be the case. Maybe I'll never know why they chose the name... maybe that's part of the draw to hygienic store - it's got a little mystery behind it (OK I just looked up "hygienic" in the dictionary and as the stated definition is "conducive to good health; healthful; sanitary." Hm... I guess beer, Icees candy and chips must be conducive to good health! Arrrright!) If you did grow up here, you'll know Hygienic Store is a historic landmark - like Matsumoto's Shave Ice (I'm surprised they don't have t-shirts for sale). Nothing super fancy about this place, just a good old fashioned store to get a the aforementioned "health staples" plus a few groceries, etc.. It's like a slightly bus' up version of 7-11, minus the fluorescent lighting, with a more down-home country feel. It is at a great location - right where Kahekili Hwy. and Kamehameha Hwy. converge. This place was a big part of my childhood, cause it's where I'd have to wait for the school bus to take me on the 30 minute drive to Kamehameha while I was in Elementary School. I don't even remember if the store was open that early in the AM, when my Mom, sisters and I would screech into the parking lot, trying to get to Mr. Hubbard's school bus in time. But after school, I did buy a good amount of candy here, (I remember getting Pop Rocks from this place!). There are lots of little places around Hygienic store that have opened up and closed down in the last 3 decades or so, and Hygienic store is like the ONE thing around that area that's still standing! I saw they just painted it bright orange and it actually looks pretty cool. Long live Hygienic Store. Me Ke Aloha Ku'u Home 'O Kahalu'u!

    The worst customer service from the pharmacy clerk. I wait 10 minutes in the outside drive thru…read more She was busy on the phone As I waited I could see her put the call on hold or maybe answer another call. Never did she acknowledge that I was waiting. When she got off the phone she just stood at the counter. I pressed the button so she knows I'm there. She then picked up the phone & said just a minute- not even turning around. No thank u for waiting. I could see someone walk up - which she helped first. Though she said they were there before me. Very rude. This pharmacy has poor customer service & I'm not getting my prescriptions from here again!

    When Walgreen started to pop up everywhere I didn't think they would do as well if you've compared…read moreit to Longs Drugs. Walgreen had stores in Nuuanu, Market City and near Ala Moana (Flagship store) which are now closed! Walgreen have some items others stores may not offered. Good to see some different items since they have different buyers and distributors. Great they have a 24 hour drive through pharmacy. You can always get your prescription any time of the day! My friend likes their manual toothbrushes since only a few places still sell " firm" toothbrushes. Walgreen offered vast variety of handicap and health home products and test kits. You have to check out their dollar section aisle which is cool at the Kaneohe and Kalihi locations that I'm aware of. You may find mouth washes, drink mix packets, can of soups, zippered bags, soap and more in the dollar section! it's such a bargain price! They have reasonable toilet paper prices for their brand. If you're like me, the 1-ply toilet paper is perfect for those who like to use so much for one use. I'm a fan of the big jug of decaf diet Arizona drink. They have a reward program and can get their Walgreen's app on your phone and start savings. One of their store brand is "Nice" and I usually buy their snack/nuts from there also Worth checking it out, never know what you would find. 09/24/22 was the last day to use the coupon book since they are going all digital savings. Thanks for reading my review. =)

    Been going since I was a kid now my kids go! Awesome people great drinks recommend the açaí drink…read morebut you can only get it when Aunty is in. All the snacks are great they also take ebt if you have!

    The store is located to the left of Times, in the corner. Plenty of parking and a beautiful view of…read morethe mountains. That's the only reason I gave 2 stars. Customer service is terrible. I'll explain later. Before we even went to the location, we yelped it. We saw they had Açaí bowls and shaved ice. When we walked up to the store, the front window had all the items that was "available." I'll post the picture. When we walked in, we asked the older man if we could have 2 Açaí bowls. He yelled and said it's not açaí bowls, it's only the bottom part...NO FRUITS! My daughter pointed at the picture that had an açaí with fruit, right behind the old man. He said no fruits!! Ok fine, so we are still getting charged $8.60 for a medium size cup of only the açaí and no fruits? That's pretty expensive. Even the very best açaí bowls with fruit aren't that much!!! So we decided on the shaved ice, he said we don't sell shaved ice here! Now I'm really confused. Maybe they use too. But all the Yelpers/customers had pictures of shaved ice and açaí bowls. Our 4 girls decided on the ice cream that was in the deep freezer by register. The older lady kept shutting the freezer door on my girls because they took too long to decide. It's not like the ice cream was going to melt in 30 seconds, but whatever. Never again will I come here! The pictures I posted are of the front windows. Each picture, I zoomed in closer so you can finally see the "sign" that says no açaí bowls! I circles it in red. They definitely need to update pictures inside and out as well as the yelp account.
