    Retail therapy in Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii... Sometimes, I just need some time to regroup... If I just look at cute stuff, I feel better already! If the cute stuff is on sale, yippee! I'm cured! LOL! TJ Maxx was nearby, so I went to take a look. I searched for Hello Kitty, Cony, Rudolph, pandas, etc. Somehow, TJ Maxx seems to have more Asian cosmetics... from companies like Creme and Pink Sky... Today, there were Hello Kitty eye masks, hairbands, nail files, makeup sponges, and a mug. I even saw Doraemon, the earless cat! I liked the bunny headband and the panda dental floss and shower cap! I found hand soap on clearance and a cute Korean lip balm in a kitty paw container! If I'm in Kapolei again, I'll take another look because I have their credit card, which gives me points that I can redeem later on. Service was really pleasant and made this a great experience!

    Great for blind pets.

    I wish they would carry more stainless steel kitchen accessories. I find silicon things so 1990s

    DEALAGES hunting........... So if you happen to be at the Kapolei Commons Shopping complex, I must tell you that this mall is a hot bed for a person who is looking for any type of DEALAGES!!!! What's not to like about this mall? You got Ross Dress for Less, Target, Marshalls, & of course TJ Maxx!!! When I popped into Marshalls last week to look for some warm weather clothing, I decided to pop into TJ Maxx as well, as this store was just a hop, skip, & jump away within the same shopping complex. What can I say about TJ Maxx? Although the store looks much more clean and organized than like a store like - Ross Dress for Less, I think TJ Maxx has a little less discount products. They don't carry men's shoes, and I would say overall their clothing selection for men is a lot smaller than the other discount stores. It's not a bad thing, as whenever you choose to visit discount stores like this, it's a "hit or miss" kinda thing. To get the ultimate deal, you just have to be there at the right place, at the right time. Of course when you do find a nice deal, don't hesitate to get it...........if you think about it too long, someone else will come along & snatch it right up!!! You know da rules..........you snooze, you loose! Lol! Anyways, I wasn't here to look for anything in particular, but was just browsing away when I came across a really good deal on a t-shirt (like I really needed another one? Lol). The DEALAGES was just too good to pass up, so I ended up pickin' it up! Lol! Okay, I better get outtah here, otherwise I'd end up buying more unnecessary items that I really don't need! If you happen to be hangin' around at the Kapolei Commons shopping complex & wanna hunt for some DEALAGES? Give TJ Maxx a try!

    TJ Maxx buy.

    TJ Maxx. Firstly, they spelled the moniker, max, incorrectly. Secondly, the name of the store doesn't tell the customer exactly what to expect. My sister shops at this store and apparently she likes it. But she likes shopping in general. I enjoy shopping...such as for clothing or groceries...when I know, in general or specifically, what I am getting. I have to have a purpose. I went inside the Kapolei Commons location a few times looking for some new work clothes. You know the kind: dark colors, solids with no designs. No luck at Kapolei's TJ Minn. Their clothing section is not comparable to Ross' or even Marshall's - both at the opposite end of the Commons. A small selection of men's clothing. I think this was the third time I came away without a shirt or trousers. This past Wednesday eve, purchased a couple bags of snacks. Cashews and a trail mix. When you get a Mega Mix from The Maxx...I almost expect Testosterone supplements along with Omega-3's. Discount and moderate pricing. I get why The Maxx is popular, especially with the ladies. Lots of parking because it is at Kapolei Commons. But don't park on the side or back of TJ Maxx as security may chase you away if you are sitting and chilling in your parked vehicle.

    LOVE TJ Maxx and this is a good one. Very clean and everyone was very nice this visit like most visits. Great selection. Friendly and easy return. Me and my wife shop here for a variety of things, specifically all our family clothes. It's normally a first stop when clothes are needed and we visit once or twice a month even if we don't need anything.

    MK pink jacket I bought! Such a good deal! Wearing this when it gets close to winter.

    We came here after having brunch at Ruby Tuesday. Oh my goodness! I found a light pink MK jean jacket for $24.00! Such a steal! I also found an Adidas pink hat for $7.99! I find a lot of things at this location. I didn't find that much good high end makeup though. Wasn't anything I liked. The inside was very organized and clean. It was very easy to find items. I also bought some Lucky jeans. I totally scored today. I like this location and it wasn't super crowded. Hubby bought our daughter some cute clothing like dresses, shorts, etc. We love shopping at this location. I definitely will be back to find more clothing.

    Impressed! They have Shiseido, Clinique, Bliss, estee lauder products.

    Since I'm in Kapolei every weekend for baseball games at Pride Fields, I've been making it a point to check out different places....OMG TJ Maxx in Kapolei is the BOMB! 5 stars all the way! And heres why.... -Customer service is phenomenal, from the moment someone greeted me at the door, to the lady at the fitting room, employees asking if i needed any assistance with anything and the checkout people, everyone was friendly and helpful and genuinely seemed happy to be working there. (They were not disgruntled or grumpy) -Cleanliness and Organization-This place was organized and so clean. Dressing rooms were spotless (no tags, rubbish, leftover clothes in the dressing rooms), restrooms were clean, and every section that I went into was super organized, folded, well stocked, perfectly displayed, sizes in the right places, no clutter on the floor and opened boxes or packages in sight. -Selection-Great Selection on products. The had Shishedo products that were over 50% retail and they were NOT expired. Other name brands like Estee Lauder, Clinique etc were also there. Large selection of facial sheet masks, organic essential oils, hair and face products and make up. Practically every section was great! In the active wear they also had under armour and Nike available and other brands. Very similar to Ross's but better and cleaner! Prices were reasonable and they also had clearance sections which were clearly displayed. I lucked out and found a duvet cover for my comforter. These are usually not available at Ross's and pretty expensive at Macys so i gladly paid 30$ for it. Only disappointment is that the womens shoe selection was pretty sparse but other than that shoppers paradise. I might be stopping by every weekend;)

    Great deal - Kate Spade Saturday dress

    Hello, my name is Victoria and I am a "maxxinista." It's easy to get addicted to TJ Maxx. Clean stores (this one is brand spankin' new!), awesome brand name merchandise at discounted prices and always exceptional customer service. Pair those qualities with location and you've got the poison to hook a "maxxinista." TJ Maxx opened today at Kapolei Commons (next to Sports Authority and Target) in Kapolei. This location is wonderful!! Plenty of parking spots in a very spacious mini-shopping center. What I bought: - New "rustic" single panes mirror for $19.00 - Mid-century looking bowls - Steve Madden sandals $49.99 - a whole lot of other unmentionables that would lead you to believe I am a hoarder. Great brand names for bedding, clothing, shoes and housewares that you won't find at rival stores at a better price. What I love about TJ Maxx is that their inventory always looks full but not uncluttered. Opening day brings out the best and worst from people but I must say, TJ Maxx employees were awesome. I noticed employees from their other stores helping out with this morning's rush. The wild, wild west isn't so wild anymore. The west side is growing and it's no where close to being done but slowly and surely, businesses like TJ Maxx is conquering the west.

    One of my favorite TJMaxx

    WHAT! I've been here more that 50 times and I never wrote a review of this place? How is that even possible! I may have been waiting to review this place for Halloween as most of the TJ Maxx carries wonderful seasonal items. I come here every chance I get because this TJ Maxx location carries more quality items, in my opinion, than the larger one in town. I'm writing this review in mind prior to the movie theater opening up just across the parking lot, which may change the parking situation here permanently, then I may have to update my review with a 4-star if it becomes an issue. HIGHLIGHTS: - lots of parking!! (before the movie theater sprang up) - super good stuff compared to the other TJ Maxx stores, especially around Halloween! - friendly, fast cashiers - nice dressing rooms - close to Target, Ross Dress for Less, Down To Earth, Menchi's, Pier One, Petco, Sally Beauty Supply, etc. - the seasonal stuff is the best (especially Halloween). Even if there is no holiday or occasion around the corner, the front display usually plays up the time of the year (Summer with nautical goodies, Spring with flowers, Fall with pumpkins, etc) LOWLIGHTS: - not necessarily a reflection on this store location (hence the 5-star) but rather of the TJX Rewards card. I stopped using it because they made it very difficult for me to pay my bill online and I had to send in a paper check, thus delaying my payment even longer while they racked up the interest on my supposedly missed payment...frustrating! When my Costco Visa card comes in TJX Rewards is going into the shredder. Love this place. I am not ashamed to admit that I TJ Maxx hop - hitting up the one in town, the one at Pearlridge, the one at Aiea/Pearlcity and this one, all in one day - yup, usually Halloween time.

Target is not usually my first choice for grocery shopping but I do love it for the home goods section! I've found such amazing home decor finds but have yet to commit to bringing them home with me. Magnolia Table is the most charming brand! I also love Target fashion and absolutely adore the new western collection clothing Target has in stock. The bathing suits are also so cute! I've been looking for a place where I can comfortably look around for plus size clothes that offer 3x-4x options. However, this place is more for regular sizes to 2x. A New Day and Ava and Viv are such cute, classy brands. So, I find myself window shopping here more than actually committing to the products. The clearance section in the back definitely needs some attention and tidying up as some of the clothing have ended up on the floor. What I do like to enjoy from this Target is the occasional Starbucks splurge, the dollar spot section, and I LOVE THE Ulta section. Some of my purchases today were a restock of my soda stream flavors. I chose the peach mango today. I also got a roll of dog food for only $22. My dog Scrappy is bougie and loves fresh food.

I like the convenience of knowing that they open at 6am-ish... Most times it opens up around 6:04 to 6:05 depending upon who's in charge of that area. The store is typical of Wal Mart's layout. Rows and aisles of clothing, food, household goods, etc. Most employees are nice and some you can tell are just trying to make it until break time, which is okay because we all have "days". My biggest issue is having to navigate through aisles that are riddled with pallets and merch needing to be shelved. Sometimes they'll be multiple employees in one aisle with their merch carts crammed against each other try to stock shelves. They're focused and most often won't move for you to get your shopping cart through, let alone get what you need off of the shelf. There are (2) restrooms, one is located in the back near the fabric area and one across the cash registers next to the eyeglass shop. The bathrooms are always clean and stocked. Again, it's a toss up between speaking with a nice, cordial employee and an employee who's just going through it. My recommendation is to have a plan if you're short on time. Especially for people who start work at 6:30am and the store is slow to open at 6am. Have a plan and be ready to do an audible in the event that the area you need items from are congested with merch carts and pallets.

Whenever I try to redeem the discount or a promo, the store treats me like I'm a criminal. Here's a few examples: The Foodland offer: free reusable bag with any $50 or more purchase. I thought this was a great promo, get some grocery shopping done, get a free bag. Win-win. NOT! Some of the workers have no clue about the promo, others say it's only good on the weekends and yet another said the promo expired. Foodland get your act together. I'm spending my money @ your establishment, isn't that a good thing??? (The promo doesn't say weekends only, and the promo is still posted on the KVC site with NO mention of an Expiration Date) L&L offer: 10% of your purchase. When I arrived at the restaurant I showed the cashier the promo ahead of time just in case they weren't gonna honor it, I would eat elsewhere...she looks at it. Asks what is that? Omg really? It's a promo your landlord is offering and you have no idea about it??? She takes my phone and goes to the back kitchen to talk to some guy and asks him about it. The guy says yeah they can accept that. 10% off isn't a real big deal, but I'm helping this establishment by eating there. Smh. So again, the discount program is a joke since the tenants are so resistant to honoring it. I don't understand why? If this brings in the traffic, why not honor it? Instead you make your customers feel like criminals or maybe even worse than that. I grew up shopping @ the Market City Foodland and L&L Hawn BBQ has always been my go-to local plate lunch place so I was elated to see these two tenants here in kapolei, expecting the same great friendly service...boy was I wrong! Kapolei is a growing community, guess I'll be looking elsewhere for my groceries and bbq plate lunches.

    Imagine my delight on my first trip to Hawaii and there's a Donki nearby. The immediate rush of…read moreexcitement filled my veins. The inside is as chaotic and busy as a donki in Japan, although this location (because this is the only location I've been to in Hawaii) seems to be merged with Safeway a bit with the items it held so it's almost double the overwhelming yet still fun to browse and walkthrough. It's bright, it's massive, and I'm sure you can play a mean game of tag inside, but don't. While there was a ton of items that almost swayed me, I only opted for a couple bags of cookies and a little hot wheel for my husband.

    My sister took me to lunch and suggested the Wagyu Skewer lunch spot in Don Don Donki. It sounded…read morepretty good, so off we went. The layout of the store is pretty strange, with the entrance on one side, and the exit at the other end of the store by the food court. It forces you to either park near the entrance or exit (or in the middle), and either way, it's gonna be a long walk. We parked near the entrance and went in and found the food court at the other side of the store. The store is fairly large, and offers a huge selection of Japanese foods, snacks, and other specialty products. It was surprisingly empty for a Friday afternoon, but at least we didn't have to wait very long. They have a large counter for sit down dining, along with tables in the middle of the court. The skewers were a petty good size, but the meat wasn't as tender as I had expected. It was a bit stringy, and chewy, but the taste was good. They also provided a Teriyaki style dipping sauce, which had a good flavor. I like that it included both a green salad, and mac salad, and the bed of rice under the skewers were also topped with furikake. For some reason, although it was a take out order, they forgot to include any utensils for the eating salad and rice. The exit is located right by the dining area, so the walk back to the car is quite a distance. I understand that having only one exit reduces the chances of theft, but it's still pretty inconvenient for their "primary" customers, who are probably an older demographic. Maybe that's why they're not as busy as when they first opened?

    I love this shopping area! I haven't fully experienced the whole place yet because it's HUGE, it…read morehonestly needs a full-day excursion to explore everything. But from what I've seen so far, I'm already obsessed! There are so many Hawaiian-style stores that I've never seen before, plus tons of shopping, clothing, and dining options. Some of my favorite spots are here like SoHa and Jollibee. There's also Foodland, Macy's, a gym, and even a Hampton Inn nearby, which makes this area super convenient for both locals and visitors. And let's talk about all the food and fun: Cheesecake Factory, Taqueria Ranchero, and the movies?! Such a good mix of everything. Also... I'm happy to report there's a bathroom nearby by Olive Garden (which is honestly a BIG deal when you're out shopping all day in Hawai'i ). Overall, I love this place and can't wait to come back and explore more!

    This shopping center is MASSIVE!…read more Admittedly, I have become a town snob with age. Rarely do I venture outside the "Honolulu" district (Hawaii Kai to Salt Lake is my radius ring) unless a special occasion calls for it. I blame gas prices but really, it's laziness. What brought me out to the 96707 was a new store that popped up just a hop away. Plus I've heard great things about KMA. So why not kill two birds with one stone? I love the array of shops and restaurants! Kapolei in general is bustling with so many shopping centers, you can make a day out of it! I grabbed a shirt from Spencer's, fashion jewelry at Lovisa, and even checked out the movies that day. Will check this place out again with my husband and young boys. There's a bubble play area and a big grassy lawn for active kids. Part two to be continued!
