There's a Ross Dress for Less in the HI Kai Towne Center, almost 2 miles from my home, and if I…read moreneed something, you would usually find me there on a Tuesday when the senior discount is offered. Ross is a high-quality department and specialty store that offers discounted prices and bargains for many name brands. Because of good purchasing power, Ross works directly with the manufacturers to negotiate the best deals, with savings passed on to the consumer. And there's no fancy advertising. And Ross gives back to the community by partnering with the Boys & Girl Club of America, which helps kids achieve academic success, build confidence, and lead healthy lives. The first Ross Dress for Less store opened in 1982 in CA. Ross is presently in 43 states with the exception of New England and Alaska. The HI Kai store has been operating for 16+ years. While this store is not as large as others in the State, many have noted that the HI Kai store has better products than other stores. I don't have an opinion on this, as I don't normally visit other stores unless I'm unable to find what I'm looking for at the HI Kai store. Ross Dress for Less has almost everything you can imagine: clothing, shoes, accessories, home décor, beauty products, toys, handbags, luggage, furniture, crafts, electronics, bath & bedding, kitchenware, food, electronics. I have used and continue to use Ross for the following reasons: * Toys. You can't beat the discounted prices off of name-brand toys, esp for Christmas and birthday gifts. Be sure to ask for a gift receipt for easy returns. * Children's clothing. I'm always looking for clothes for my grandkids, as they grow so fast and outgrow their existing clothes in no time. * Activewear. I like to wear Nike Dri-fit and other active wear around the house, and Ross has them at discounted prices! * Luggage. I always seem to be looking for the lightest luggage on 4 wheels, and many that are brand names, for upcoming travel. * Bath/bedding. You'll find towels, shower rack, clothes hamper, bed sheets, mattress pads, pillows, and bed spreads in my home, and they're all from Ross! Huge discounted savings! * Paper products. I love the printed tissue papers in varying colors, gift bags, craft scissors, etc. used for gift giving. * Journals. I'm always on the lookout for journals that I use for daily Bible devotions journaling. * Furnishing of condo rental. Ross was a lifesaver when we got our condo unit, as we had to furnish it for rental. Lots of things that were needed: bar stools, kitchen utensils, dishes, bedding, shower curtain, bath towels, small appliances, trash can, cleaning supplies, lamps, pots & pans. * Seasonal. I look forward to celebrating holidays with décor around the house, e.g., spring pastel tablecloths and Easter appliques, Christmas holiday cheer furnishings, Chinese New Year gold/red dragons, etc. I am amazed at the huge savings of items, many brand name and designer names, at prices significantly lower (20% to 60%) than department stores. With the high turnover of inventory, it's important to purchase the items you want before it disappears into the hands of another purchaser. Yes, at times I feel like I'm on a fun treasure hunt, as you never know what you'll find in discovering unique and discounted merchandise with the constant changing inventory! As I usually go first thing in the morning, staff is friendly and willing to help. Merchandise is neatly stocked on shelves. This contrasts with the afternoon at this store and at other locations where staff may be tired, and merchandise has been picked over and is messily strewn on the floor and misplaced on the shelves. Also wished that the front doors open automatically instead of manually opening the doors, which makes it difficult if you have a lot of merchandise or a wagon. And it's usually Tuesday morning that I'm there, as every Tuesday is designated as senior discount day, with 10% off of merchandise if you're 55 years of age or over. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 8:30a to 10:00p and Sun 8:30a to 9:00p. Ross is located in the HI Kai Towne Center, in the same complex with Costco HI Kai and Raising Cane. Free available parking in the private lot, however, parking may be a premium but spaces open up. Yes, I'm grateful that there is a Ross Dress for Less near my home, and I will continue to patronize them, knowing that I am the recipient of great savings! Thank you, Ross Dress for Less!

Retail Obsessed Stressed Shopper…read more.. Yup this is my retail therapy and yes there are negative pros and cons shopping here but it's still five star regardless as all I can say about Ross...thank you as they provide amazing finds if you take the moment to browse which is very therapeutical lol! This Hawaii Kai Towne location isn't the largest though I did find some favorite items at this location sometime I think it's the layout as having a smaller sales floor does make it less overwhelming to go through each aisle which is very narrow here finding it frustrating to walk pass a shopper with a shopping cart as some aisle makes it impossible to browse pass them. The staff here is a delight as I bring my purchase with getting a huge compliment CUTE! We chatted a bit and loved the price is a fraction in comparison to other shops. Retail therapy is certainly found here. Thank you!

I was told that the thread count was 186 to 205 when doctors are recommending 180 or more. I found that in addition to face masks, they also make aloha shirts, ladies dresses, and much more. Just check out their website and call if you have any questions. They take as much time as you need to help you make your final decision.

I've been frequently shopping at Kahala Mall these days. & One of my favorite clothing stores is…read moreReyn Spooner! Since 1956, Reyn Spooner's been renowned for producing beautiful & authentic Aloha shirts & wear. I've personally enjoyed the quality build & unique designs such as the Year of the Rabbit & University of Hawai'i Aloha shirts. Upon entering you're greeted by an associate while the store is decked out in wooden floors & borders. Since this year's the Year of the Dragon, I contacted the store & they gladly added me on the list once the shirts was available to puchase & pick up. They called me notifying the shirts were ready (they usually hold your reserved items for you for a couple of days). Yes, the shirts are a bit north of $100 but because the shirt is comfortable & very high quality I'd say it's worth it. Love the shirt & design so much I bought both colorways! The staff was very helpful, from showing me the dressing room to showing me other offerings such as their shorts & other styles currently on sale. & the way they fold the items into the bag shows they give great care to their products. Go to Kahala Mall & shop at Reyn Spooner!

As a big fan of Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirts, I've been wearing Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirts for…read moreover 30+ years now. I remembered a time when I first got out of college and purchased my very first Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirt from Liberty House (ya remember Liberty House???) - (If so, you one old fut like me! Buwahahahahaha!)..........in the 90's I swear I was able to get a Spooner for like $55.00 bucks. 30 years have since passed, and in today's dollars......... you're looking at double the cost for a Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirt. Although cost has gone up through the years for this wonderful Hawaiian Shirt, one thing that has been consistent about a Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirt is the quality of the product. Most of my Spooners that are in my closet are the poly blend shirts which comprises of - 60% Cotton & 40% Polyester (old skool shirts). The current poly blend shirts that Reyn Spooner now manufactures is 55% Cotton & 45% Polyester. If you're lazy like me, to maintain these shirts, all you have to do is hand wash the shirt, then put it on a clothes hanger to drip dry. No ironing needed whatsoever! Yes, I do know how to iron my own shirts, but I'd rather not because I'm lazy lil' dat! Buwahahahaha! Hey, I ain't gonna lie to ya! On my recent trip to the Reyn Spooner store in Kahala Mall, a friend of mine - Byron S. had given me a Reyn Spooner Peanuts edition "Surfin Snoopy" Hawaiian Shirt in Mens XL for Christmas. I guess the shirt sizing for the Peanuts edition shirts were "oversized", because when I put on that XL shirt, I was totally swimming is that beautiful shirt! Aiyah! Luckily the Reyn Spooner inside of Kahala Mall wasn't too far from my house, so I was able to go there & exchange my Peanuts edition shirt for a Mens Large. Customer service here was just okay, as the store was pretty busy the day after Christmas with only (2) clerks that were working behind the register..........so the wait was understandable. Aside from that, I just LOVE my Reyn Spooner Hawaiian Shirts, as you really can't go wrong with wearing a Spooner, as it's the standard Hawaiian attire for the Hawaiian business man.

Jamie W and I were waiting for our reservation at The Pig and The Lady (review: https://yelp.to/LhZdZcHz26), so we had time to explore the Kaimuki neighborhood. Beyond the necessary malasada at Pipeline Bakery (review: https://yelp.to/coxyVLI5P8), we were curious about a couple of LGBTQ-owned businesses on Waialae Avenue. One was a fun pet supply emporium, The Public Pet (review: https://yelp.to/XXvGoRe97Q), and this was the other store. There were plenty of things to browse. Clothing and accessories appeared to dominate the main hallway, while housewares, handbag, and fabrics were presented in the back area. There were unique items like colorful hair clips, duck-head umbrellas, and tins of mackerel filets. Andrew makes sure there's nothing predictable about the inventory here, which makes a return visit mandatory. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?
