Ambiance- 5 stars Service - 3.5…read moreProducts- 5 stars I visited the Kapolei location on Friday and was so happy with the pieces I chose! I'm very particular and not a fan of the oversized dress so I spent some time in the store looking for a top with built-in bra and comfy shorts with a lei design. I was also able to get something nice for my mom as she has been wanting a beautiful, Aloha print blouse for some time now. The service here was excellent! The sales associate who greeted me first also set me up with a dressing room while I was shopping. The one part of my shopping experience that I didn't like was that they don't offer free shopping bags. I mean, I spent over $130 of products in this store. It's a pet peeve of mine to see high end retail stores charging customers for shopping bags when their shopping bags aren't made of plastic. Come on now. Other than that, I'd be back here again to shop for more tops in the future!

The first thing I saw was a body piercing section which I thought what this shop was about and how wrong I was as they also have earrings and not just the simple studs but huggies, hoops and yup cuffs though mine are pierced I've been into cuffs but have had issues finding them but the staff here is just amazing friendly and helpful one had helped a young man looking for a particular something for his ears as his parents looked on was adorable lol! Not just items for the lobes but necklace, watch bands, hair accessories, and so much more...everywhere I turn I see something cool, cute and just the interesting to pair whatever ensemble you're creating.

I have followed her from Mililani to Kapolei because she always makes me feel beautiful and confident. She picks out pieces that compliment me and gives her honest opinion during my try-ons. Shopping with her is always the greatest experience. She never pressures me to buy anything yet I always end up walking out with more than I went for. Thank you Lanie for always dressing me!

The staff aren't over-the-top, but they're approachable and happy to help when you need something. I actually liked that--it felt genuine. The clothing is adorable and feels like good quality. They were also super clear about prices, especially on the jewelry, with no pressure or upselling. Just a nice, easy shopping experience all around.

"The Inspiration"…read more Curating their inventory to fit the local need. Family owned and operated. Cozy and welcoming, it's a place with unique offerings. They lock into the local community to make the whole town feel complete. It's a special, one-of-a-kind place. These are the mom 'n pop stores I grew up with on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Some are still around. Mom 'n pop stores, the inspiration behind Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Ko Olina-O'ahu. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "My Storytelling" It's the weekend and my parents are taking my siblings and I to a kiosk in Kaiko'o Mall. To enjoy Icee from Kaiko'o Seeds N'things, as we choose bags of cracked seed from this mom 'n pop store. Household appliances weren't purchased from corporate retailers like today. My family and most of East Hawai'i years+ ago were loyal to mom 'n pop stores like Modern Appliance. Next door, Kay's Lunch Center had the most delicious Korean fried chicken made by "mom", and slices of homemade cream pies by "pop". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kai Store since 1948, Chika Nakano since 1975, Optical Dispensers, Hilo Siam Thai Restaurant (see my Yelp review), and Leung's Chop Suey House since 1975. Doris Place since 1948 on the west side and Hirano Store since 1969 in Mountain View. These are some of the mom 'n pop stores currently still in-business on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Since my childhood. And of course, the Hasegawa General Store since 1910, still serving the local community in Hana-Maui. Featured in the Disney animated film, Lilo & Stitch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Disney Storytelling" A story is shared with intricate details. Culturally significant, extremely immersive. The Disney way - through storytelling. The culture of the Hawaiian people is displayed in the most creative way by Disney Imagineers. Unlike any resort in Hawai'i. Unique architecture and design, awe-inspiring artwork and murals throughout. Multi-sensory excellence at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Home to Kalepa's Store. The only place to purchase official Disney merchandise and exclusive Aulani items in Hawai'i. (Visit my Yelp review of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Elevated Perspective" Joyful suspension, relaxed excitement. A rental car made the drive possible from Waikīkī on my first visit. Fourteen months later, a last minute window of opportunity became available for another visit to Kalepa's Store. I've learned to look upwards for hidden high level details and architectural Disney magic. As I entered Kalepa's Store, I found the most meaningful key designing element. Framed photos of actual mom 'n pop stores in Hawai'i. Some are now closed, others are currently still in business. It brought personality, warmth, meaning and an authentic deep connection to the rich history of my home-state. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Retail exclusivity is why I'm here. Unique Aulani logo items, clothing and accessories that cannot be found inside the Disney theme parks and online. Bags of Disney Parks Main Street Popcorn like those found at Disneyland are found along with my favorite, Gummi Disney Character Bites. Guest service excellence at Kalepa's Store. Individual attention, personalized conversations, strong engagement from the cast members. We laughed and reminisced about our past trips to Disneyland, Disney vloggers we watch. Photo ops were taken, care was extended. I felt valued. That the drive from Waikīkī was worth every minute, that my choice to be here as a local Hawai'i resident was appreciated. I'm departing Kalepa's Store, Aulani logo shopping bags in both hands with orange tissue paper puffs. All smiles, I'm content. Parking validation is extended since my purchase reached a certain dollar amount. It's now time to enjoy the resort property for just a while longer... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Future Inspired" Mom 'n pop stores. Independent, family-owned, a unique role in the local community. But they struggle to compete with larger corporations, big box retailers and e-commerce platforms who have buying power. My visit to Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa opened my eyes. It made me realize my unique role in my local community, how important my choices are. Where I shop, where I dine, where I choose to take my business as a consumer. It matters to help keep money circulating nearby for the vitality of mom 'n pop stores and small businesses in my community, on my home-island. In Hawai'i. Even though I'm employed by a corporation, I've recently decided on making small, gradual changes in some of my habitual spending. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Be Inspired" I implore you to do the same while you visit, shop, casually meander and enjoy the most unique resort property in Hawai'i. Like I did. Stay for hours, return for a second time, or become an overnight guest. Immerse yourself in the details. Embrace the magic of Disney and the rich history of Hawai'i at Kalepa's Store. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Become inspired.

I've bought a few over the years. I didn't see anything that I liked this time around. They did have those popular Disney x Aloha print bags near the entrance. People were buying everything in the store. They were standing in line holding clothes, mugs, toys, headbands with the ears and snacks. I really liked the Disney ears, but they were $40 something each or $30 each when you buy 3. I decided not to get them, even though they were so cute.

This is definitely the kind of place where I have to be careful, or I'll break the bank. I'm grateful for the easy bathroom access too. The bathrooms are conveniently located right by the front entrance on the left side of the building. I'm grateful for the hot, ready to go meals. I'm grateful for the delicious 3D ice cream. I'm grateful that I can find so many Asian snacks, foods, and little treats that I love. One of my favorite things is the convenience of being able to buy something you love, microwave it right there, and then just chill and enjoy your food in their huge dining area. Sometimes it's the simple things like that that make me happy. I love where I live. I love being able to have access to places like Don Don Donki and finding little pieces of home, comfort, and happiness in the things I enjoy. I'm just grateful!

I do love their poke bowls there. One thing I really appreciate is the amount of seating. There are plenty of tables indoors, plus outdoor seating if you'd rather enjoy your meal outside. It makes it a nice spot to relax instead of rushing out the door. I also noticed the condiments are available near the self-checkout area, which is a nice convenience. A few other helpful things I took note of: there are three ATM machines in the dining area if you need cash, and restrooms are available both near the main entrance and in the dining area. I took a few photos for reference to help future shoppers. Also I forgot to add, you now can enter from both sides of the store. Overall, it's more than just a grocery store, it's a great place to grab a quick bite, meet up with a friend, or even have a casual small business meeting. Definitely a convenient spot that offers a lot more than just groceries!

Good thing my grandson got to try some on to make sure the pants fit.
