    There are only so many places you can shop on The Big Island…read more Sometimes you have to take one for the team and bow down to The Evil Empire from Bentonville. What works here: At least during our visits, the store was well stocked. This actually shocked me because holy shit, it makes no difference whether you are here on a weekday/weekend/noon/15 minutes before closing, they are always, always, always packed. Bizarre mix of a store that is not an old school 80's style Walmart but it's also not a Supercenter either as the store does not have enough square footage. With that said, there is certainly a little of this and a little of that in here. Pharmacy? Sure New cell phone plus a service provider for it? Yep Garden Center? Of course McD's for a greasing? Naturally Eye Exam? Why not Booze? Duh There is also the usual mix of clothing, office crap, basic sporting gear, an aisle of "local" favorites and while not a full grocery store/experience - there is more here than what you would think. What doesn't work here: Checking out can be tough due to said crazy busyness. Also note that they don't do shopping bags here in the traditional sense so BYO on that one. The parking lot situation is an insurance claim adjuster's wet dream. People walking from all sides & directions like mindless zombies. Cars coming from multiple entrance/exit points. Other strip mall stores like Gamestop/Domino's/Ross also use the same parking lot. It's a lot. You find religion before each backup attempt. Open daily from 6am-11pm and if this doesn't cut it for you, there is a Safeway and a Target around the corner.

    Clean and convenient Walmart store along the road to Volcanoes National Park - just what we needed…read morefor ponchos for our trip in the rainforest today! Folks were friendly and helpful and we had a quick in/out trip to get what we needed!

    Long's now has implemented a CVS system that puts CVS's convenience over that of its customers…read more Instead of an automated call telling you that your prescription is ready, or that one of them is out-of-stock, they send you a link that tries to force you to open an account in order to learn ANYTHING about your order! If you have no smartphone, or value your privacy, tough luck! If you want some place to hide out from corporate information gathering, there's no way! You get to the store and they try to force you to "log-in" again, provide all of your personal info, etc. before they will just look at your I.D and get you your prescription! One person seemingly has to take care of ALL pick-ups, and they are obviously overworked. YOU CAN JUST REFUSE to play their selfish corporate game, and demand your prescription, but they'll still force you to sign for it! When I went back a second time to pick up a drug that had been out of stock the previous day, I had to operate blindly by going into the store only to find that they STILL didn't have it a full day later, and I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION what the status was beforehand! Yeah, you can put up with "the way things are these days", but I'm ditching anything having to do with CVS. There are other pharmacies that value their customers' time and privacy, but not these CORPORATE CLOWNS!. They have lost this customer!

    Longs in the heart of Hilo saved me…read more I needed some items ranging from socks to pain reliever- don't ask- and Longs came in clutch! I even found some souvenirs and snacks to take back home with me. Parking lot can be a bit "colorful" shall we say- so lock your car. Typical on this side of Hilo, but not horrible during daylight, not sure after the sun sets. Don't get me wrong, I heart Hilo and Longs.
