It's your one stop shop for drinks of every variety, snacks, musubis and their awesome souvenir tees & hats. I bought 4 tee shirts. 2 were gifts.... They loved the tees as one I gave to my dad. He wears it all the time. My girl bought a hat. She loves it. It's perfect for the beach. Love the old logo. Love the new logo. The older gentleman that was manning the register was super cool. Not sure, he might be the manager or the owner. He asked us whereabouts we were visiting from and we told him Southern California but that I was originally from San Francisco. He was telling us he used to work the fishing boats up and down the California coast. We enjoyed talking to him and hope to see him when we return next year to Hanalei town. Located right in the middle of town on the main drag along Kuhio Highway. Just after Titus Kinimaka's Quiksilver store and before the plaza BIllabong (AI Forever) is in. Cant miss it. Parking out front. Make sure you stop in and buy something.

Great vibes. Great…read morelocation. (right next to the foodcarts) Good prices. (a location like this in a beachy place in Florida would have wildly inflated prices) Friendly staff. Only negative is that the selection of local hard seltzer was really lacking, we found there to be much more variety at local grocery stores. (they had a wide selection of "Big Seltzer" (Truly, White Claw) though) They do have some decent HI-brewed canned beer though. (such as Maui Brewing's Pilsner, pictured)

The Foodland in Princeville on the island of Kauai is a busy place. Has a long line of people for…read morethe hot foods. The ribs were calling me but I needed to get to the airport. Has ample free parking in a cute little mall. There are self checkout machines in Princeville but not in the Foodlands I know on Oahu. I took a pic below. The store is clean and well stocked. I did not need to interact with any staff.

For me, Foodland Hawaii means a large selection of freshly made Poke. So during our trip to the…read morenorth shore of Kauai, we stopped into this location to explicitly get a variety for our lunch on the beach. It turned out great. Foodland is a Hawaiian original, founded in Honolulu on 1948 as Hawaii's first modern supermarket, and continues to be owned by the founder's family. It has 31 locations across the islands, but only one is still open in Kauai (the Lihue location closed during Covid). It's kinda hidden, so would need to explicitly look for it. It's a medium size supermarket. The poke station and hot deli are located together with the same associates manning both. It was busy and crowded around that area, so important to pull a number and wait. Once my number was called, got seven different items and the associate was patient. My wife doesn't like poke, so made herself a hot lunchbox for a good price (one Korean chicken drumstick at $2.50 each; cheddar cheese tots $2.79 for 0.31 lbs; one corn cob $1.29) while I made a deconstructed poke bowl ($3.38 for 2 scoops of white rice; chili garlic crunch ahi $4.80 for 0.30 lbs; Poke fresh ahi hawaiian style $11.56 for 0.34 lbs; california style ahi $4.80 for 0.30 lbs). My favorite was the California style, with the avocado. It reminds me of the taste of a California roll. Hate to admit it, but paying for almost triple the price for fresh ahi tuna isn't worth it...the from frozen was still great as a poke.

In Hawaii, fresh poke is in abundance. Every place claims they are the best on the island. Each…read moreperson to their own liking. When driving through Kauai, one will find there are general stores everywhere that will always have the usual convenience fare, tourist souvenirs, and poke. If you weren't seeking Whalers General store one would not know of the fresh poke that is fairly priced. Enter and head on towards the right. The laid back staff are patient as you decide! In addition to poke are other pickled selections of seafood. The local and fresh caught poke are all full flavored. When it comes to favorites the husband and I found ourselves enjoying every bite of the spicy ahi and shoyu ahi. The texture and cuts of the fish make all the difference. Here they know what they are doing! We will definitely be coming back when visiting Kauai!
