    It is easy as ABC! This all in one store is the place for convenience in Waikiki as it's everywhere and has just about everything for everyone. This particular location is found in the Ala Moana Center which has two shops this one originally was located on the Makai or facing Ala Moana Beach Park and has relocated on the other side of the mall next to Spectrum near Nordstrom just before Covid though it was strategic smart move as it's right infant of a Trolley Stop and you know before heading back to your hotel or the next stop it's convenient. Yes just before Covid..sigh! Then came the closure sadly the other location right in the middle next to the Centerstage of the mall remained open though this one remained closed up until recently which I'm so happy to see as I was afraid it would close but so happy they hung on though the pin was still placed at the reverse part of the mall so I did send it the change so that there won't be a lost tourist as it's nowhere near its former location. Slowly things are returning and the vibe here is still quite mellow but has all the yummy bentos, spam musubi, macadamia nuts and the drinks to keep you cool. Thank you!

    Item that they carry.

    Located in the Ala moana shopping center ground floor facing Mauka next to Starbucks. When I entered the store, the first impression is this place is very neat and clean, very organized. They carry a lot of different items such as T-shirts, Aloha shirt, souvenir, gift items (food), swimming gear, snorkeling gear, lots of drinks and alcohol selection. When people come to Hawaii, everyone visit the ABC store! I'm surprised there's only one ABC store in the shopping center. The staffs are very friendly and keep saying hi to us. Sometimes, we don't even go to the supermarket and just buy from ABC store even we live here and we are not a tourist.

    Admittedly, we don't usually shop at the ABC Stores as we usually go to other drugstores for our necessities. However, just after we returned from our recent travel to Las Vegas, we found ourselves at this ABC Store while scrambling for both hand and surface sanitizing wipes. Well, instead of wandering about the crowded store, we decided to just ask one of the friendly cashier who told us they only carried "Wet Ones for Sensitive Skin". Um, nope, that won't do, as I turned to my husband saying that product doesn't contain an anti-bacterial agent. But, that's when it struck me to make our own hand sanitizer as I've done before during past hurricane seasons in Hawai'i. ABC Stores had one of the ingredients that I needed, Aloe Vera Gel 99% and/or Aloe Vera 100%. I chose to purchase several tubes of Aloe Vera 99% as I calculated that I could get more batches of hand sanitizer from the 11 oz. When we returned home, I had sterilized several pocket-sized squeeze bottles ready for me to home compound the mixture and pour into the containers. We're thankful for ABC Stores' inventory on hand and more reasonable price of the aloe vera gel. We'll be back but maybe the next time, we'll try their local snacks.

    The ABC Store is definitely my favorite store in Hawaii. This is the best shop to buy your last minute souvenirs and to buy Dole merchandise. Actually, I noticed that buying Dole merchandise here is cheaper than buying it at Dole!! If I knew that before hand, I wouldn't have bought so much at Dole. Types of souvenirs you ask? You can buy: magnets, candy, t-shirts, Hawaiian print dresses and other stuff to name a few. This ABC Store is my favorite though compared to all the other ABC Stores because so far this has been the largest store. I also like their reward system. Save your receipts! You can earn free stuff like a souvenir cup. Love it!! Since this store is located within the Ala Moana Center, there's PLENTY of free parking.

    ABC Stores seem to be so plentiful in Waikiki! It's as if there's one on every corner! They are like 7-Eleven/souvenier/convenience stores for Hawaii tourists! Merchandise includes beach towels, sunscreen, key chains, magnets, tropical scented hand lotions, soft drinks, and snacks. However, this particular location is not in Waikiki, but it's close. This one is near Center Stage at Ala Moana Shopping Center, on the ocean side, ground level. The best thing about this ABC Store is the free parking! I was looking for Hawaiian Hello Kitty reusable shopping bags. I had seen them at the Waikiki ABC Stores. Shucks! This Ala Moana location didn't have any. I even asked the friendly cashiers. They confirmed that the bags had sold out. Arg! They reminded me that ABC Stores has a Rewards Program and to save all of my receipts from future purchases! That was nice of them! I guess I have to go to Waikiki soon...

    There is one almost everywhere you turn. This ABC Store is located inside Ala Moana Center. Lots of cool things inside. Very touristy spot. You can find souvenirs galore inside. After visiting Target, Walmart, and Don Quijote, the prices here were definitely a bit rough for me. They do have some unique stuff at this store. I appreciate the organization and cleanliness of all the ABC Stores. Employees are all very sweet and helpful.

    Cute keychains
    Joyce L.

    I love ABC Stores especially this location in Ala Moana Center. All ABC Stores are so clean, well lit, and everything is organized so perfectly. My recent discover is the cute, wooden, Hawaiian keychains. I think next time I need to send souvenirs from Hawaii, I'll keep ABC Store in mind. You think that ABC Stores are just for tourist but that's not true. They have everything from makeup to liquors. They also have food/drinks on the go if you need a quick bite.

    Chocolate covered macadamia nuts!
    Sara G.

    ABC Stores are my favorites stores in Hawaii! Pretty much any Hawaii souvenir you can dream of is in this store. They carry tons of magnets, key chains, jewelry, tons of clothes, snacks, and so much more! This one is located in the Ala Moana Center and looked really nice and new! Everything was neat and organized making shopping here a breeze. I ended up getting a six pack of chocolate covered macadamia nuts for only $20. That was a pretty good price compared to the other stores I looked at- Longs Drugs and Target. The cashiers are fun and very friendly. You seriously can't go wrong with the ABC Stores for all your Hawaii souvenir needs.
