    Definitely one of the larger ABC stores I've been to, this is located right off of Kalakaua - Their selection seems pretty plentiful, ranging from gift items, keychains, snacks, food-to-go, a beverage selection, apparel, etc. There were also some sale items, too. The aisles are a little narrow, considering the overflow of food traffic here from the hub bub of DT Waikiki. Definitely a fun place to peruse as well as pick up some basics. +large selection +huge foot traffic

    Chill ABC mart with a good arrangement of sunscreens, Hello Kitty Accessories, floss, deodorant and so on. Store associates were nice too.

    I'm a huge fan of the ABC store chain. Whenever I'm in Hawaii, I always make it a point to stop at ABC. This particular location is one of my faves because it's conveniently located inside of International Marketplace. They've got everything that you need in this little store. Did you forget your toiletries? They've got that. Need some souvenirs to take back home with you? They've got it. How about some snacks or grab and go food?! Yep, they've got that too. I needed to purchase some sunscreen and a few boxes of those lovable chocolate covered macadamias for friends back home. Found both of those items and of course stocked up on some other things too. They've got the best and most creative souvenirs here! If you're not prepared for the beach, they've also got tons of flip flops, beach towels, and bathing suits. They've also got a pretty decent wine and alcohol section in here too. I love that they validate parking tickets if you're parked in the International Marketplace garage. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. If you're in need of souvenirs, toiletries, or other essential items, this ABC store has got everyone that you need.

    For the tourist, ABC Stores are a life line in the ocean of dining out. To me there seems to be a store on every block in the tourist section of Waikiki. It is also one of those variety of stores whose inventory is "if they don't have it, you don't need it". Overall, we bought meals there, hot and cold, we bought alcohol (to enjoy in our hotel room overlooking the night lights), we bought pharmaceuticals (OTC) and we bought a few articles of clothing that we left at home. Considering we were captive tourists, the prices weren't too bad. You can see from the pics some of the various foods items we purchased. Dining out on vacation can be extremely expensive and it was nice to just stay in, even once in a while. ABC offers an affordable option for doing so. The foods items were fresh. The quality was average or above. I liked the variety to choose from. In the back of the larger stores, they have a hot food area. These meals were generally good and the service was quick (make sure to ask for utensils - it's not always voluntarily provided). The stores were quick in and out, even in the evenings when they were more crowded.

    A must on every trip to the islands!

    It's your classic "convenience store meets souvenir shop then has little ABC Store babies" story. I love, love, love these ABC Stores. They make my heart happy every time I see one, which is fortunate for my heart since you see multiple stores per block. This ABC Store is located at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort. The structure of the store is narrow taking you almost through an alleyway from Kalakaua Ave to the interior courtyard of the resort. It's more of a mini express, but gets the job done if you're staying at the resort. For a wider selection, visit any of the many other stores located within a block. Save your receipts if you're interested in receiving a free gift for spending $100 during your stay. Pro tip: If you're aspiring for a golden brown tan, look for Maui Babe. It's a must get for me during every single visit to the islands!

    Yelp removed my original post. All the things people say on their site and you want to remove mine which is straight forward and TRUE. Basically people of color watch out for this ABC store the managers will look at u crazy. Lady didn't want to give me a new water that one of the ABC store employees cut the bottom when opening the box it came in. And I had a receipt and she still didn't want to give me a new water. A 1.99 its way over priced anyways. Be careful people and keep your receipts until you leave the island and get home. Tried to take my ALOHA spirit. Clearly the manager here needs to get the ALOHA spirit. Thanks for taking my first review YELP. Ps. Don't go to this one next to the Tesla store. There are dam near 20 ABC stores within a half mile air radius. O yea. The blue Hawaiian drink they got is gooood.

    Chocolate covered macadamia nuts, even available in multiples!

    There is quite literally an ABC store on almost every block! It's great because they have items that a 7-Eleven convenience store would carry (toiletries, snacks, beverages, etc) as well as souvenirs that you might want to take home (T-shirts, keychains, shot glasses, magnets, etc) all very conveniently located all over Honolulu.

    My girlfriend and I were in Waikiki for the last week. We visited a few of the ABC stores while we were there. On the last day of our trip, we went in to this location to buy our souvenirs for the trip. It was one of the largest ABC locations we saw. I grabbed a basket and we started to shop around. As we started to add items to the basket, we started to realize one of the employees following us around. It was not obvious at first but then she kept pointing things out that we were looking at. There were tons of people in the store but she always found it a way to be around us and input her opinion. By the end, it started to get really uncomfortable and clear that she pushed herself on our shopping experience like that. Few things to mention: We did not walk in with oversized bags, backpacks or purses. My girlfriend was the only after an American person in the store. The employee who was on the floor the entire time, also decided to help the cashier check us out (where she was never at the entire time we were in the store nor did for other customers). With Waikiki being such a melting pot of travelers and such a tourist destination, it was disappointing to see these actions in your store location and more disappointing to see how it affected who I was with. It was very clear why we out of all the people in the store were being followed. When it became blatantly obvious that this was happening we should have taken our business elsewhere and we should have spoken up. I hope you realize how you can easily change an experience for people with your employees actions.

    The BEST ABC Store in Waikiki! Why? Because they had Hello Kitty reusable shopping bags, plushies, and post it notes! Even though they only had two varieties of Hawaiian Hello Kitty bags, I was thrilled to see the cute plushies - especially since they had tans! It's very unique for Hello Kitty to be a different shade! She usually is white! I'm sure she used sunscreen to get that tan...like we all should do! LOCATION: on the left side of Kalakaua Avenue as you drive towards Diamond Head; and across from The Blue Note lounge at the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel. Tip: get your Hawaiian Hello Kitty merchandise NOW because they have been discontinued! And... since you're there, get a beach towel, t-shirt, cap, snacks, beverages, and souvenirs!

    San Miguel , taste much fresher in cans than bottles.
