Love their brewed coffee. The only problem is that there are homeless stealing drinks and hot foods. They need better security or maybe 2 way security camera to actually talk to thieves. read more

It's a small ABC store located on the underground level of the shopping mall. They carry classic souvenirs for tourists, particularly the Hawaiian style hello kitty stuffed animals. I like the cozy vibe here and staff are friendly. read more

For some reason, I always have a slushie craving when at Ala Moana, yet can never find one that's not overloaded with sugar. I go round and round the food courts to no avail. I then remembered that ABC has a store here, first level by the centerstage. It's not a full-fledged location with a kitchen but they have all the usual souvenirs, snacks and beverages including alcohol. ABC didn't fare well in the slushie department either and by this time I was so parched and over it, I just ended up with a healthy bottle of water. I was greeted by one of the female cashiers as I entered, though I didn't get one from the male cashier who rang me up. OVERALL: Convenience at its best. read more

Have you ever heard about da inside joke about "ABC Stores"? This really applies if one is in Waikiki, because if a local asked another local - "eh, where you stay???" And the local says - "I stay by the ABC Store!", guess what???? Probably every block in Waikiki get one ABC Store! Buwahahahahaha! Well, lucky for me, ABC Stores are also located at the Ala Moana Shopping Center, and if I'm correct, there's like two stores. One store is located by the centerstage of the Ala Moana Shopping Center, and the newer ABC Store is located on the west wing going towards the Foodland Farms store, or a few doors down from Spectrum. Although I don't shop at ABC Stores on a regular basis, I have been known to pop into the store for a snack, or a drink once in a blue moon. While cruisin' a Ala Moana yesterday, I decided to pop on into the ABC Store by the center stage area for a coffee, since I missed my morning cup of joe. Rest-a-sure, whenever one goes to an ABC Store, you'll find a very clean & well organized store. ABC Stores kinda caters to our visiting tourist, as you'll find an array of Hawaii souvenirs, food items, and some really cool t-shirts! Walking into this particular ABC Store, I was taken back at the very nice designs they had for their t-shirts. The shirts did not look touristy, and even a local like me would proudly buy & wear some of those designs. Locally owned by the Kosasa ohana, shop local & support local whenever you can.

ABC Stores - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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! read more

ABC stores are as standard as sand when in Waikiki. They have all of the Hawaiian souvenirs you could ever need. The best part is they sell every kind of Macadamia Nut Product you can imagine. Don't forget to visit one while you are there read more

ABC is convenient to shop, it has everything from foods and drinks and things you use daily.

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. read more

Soo cool. They have everything. You will want to buy everything. Everyone was really nice. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you for prefixed sandwiches and wraps! I had a chicken wrap, it was filling, great condiment came with it, and the price, very reasonable, I usually shy away from convenient type store because of high cost especially where this a lot of tourists. This was the second time I bought goods from your store. It's fast, tasty, and reasonably priced. I will be back often. read more

Often times, when we dine in at Makai Foodcourt this ABC store is our usual go-to place for drinks! Why not? Medium size fountain drink is less than a dollar. That's way more cheap done the foodcourt. Plus, so far they got friendly staffs in here. This location is crowded most of the time. Located 1st floor inside Ala Moana Center sure this is the on-the-go souvenir place for some tourists too! And just like other locations, they got tons of souvenirs that you can choose to. From keychains, ref magnets, dashboard hula girl & different kind of leis. You can also grab some small bites in here too and that includes fresh deli. They got fine wine & spirits, beach needs, apparel & cosmetics all in one place. Pretty convenient indeed. Will always associate this store every time we dine at Makai. Great place to grab your on-the-go drinks! Thank goodness for this location! read more

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. read more

ABC store is one of my favorite stores when I'm in Hawaii. I buy lots of souvenirs when I go in their stores. I even go to their stores the one in Las Vegas read more

Probably one of my favorite places in Honolulu! My family and I have been to Oahu twice, and every time we go we always stop at the ABC stores at least 5 times. We like to go over there and get the chicken katsu and spam musubis. Their warm food is great btw if you haven't tried it, it's the main reason we go. Their teriyaki chicken bowl is delicious! Their food is always kept hot and packaged well and to me, there is nothing better than grabbing a fresh musubi and going to the ocean. read more

What's not to love? Tons of great souvenirs available in one convenient place. I bought the pineapple cookies (Piaca?) and the guava macadamia short bread, some coconut peanut butter, chocolates and Hawaiian salt. Easy gifts to take home for family and friends. Wish I'd gotten more of the pineapple stuffed cookies, they were amazingly good. There was so much interesting food here I wanted to buy a lot more, but my husband said no. So next time I'm going back without him. read more

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. read more

ABC Stores - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I absolutely love shopping at the ABC stores while we are in Hawaii...I frequent this one the most as it's closest in walking distance from our hotel. I love the section they have at their stores and the convenience of having everything under one roof. Our normal routine is hitting this place up right before the beach and stocking up on daily supplies not only to drink but to eat and snack on as well. For a convenience store they have really good take with options from sushi, poke, sandwiches, salads etc...plus all and everything you would need to make your beach day enjoyable. What I also really love is how friendly the staff is here and any location. You are always greeted with an Aloha and a friendly employee. They are also super helpful and answer any questions you might have. Plus hang onto your receipts because after so many $$$ you can cash in for some free merch. While we are in Honolulu we always make it a game to see how many points we can rack up for a free coffee cup or reusable bags. Either way love coming here and love the convenience. read more

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... read more

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. read more

Entering the store one is greeted by a chorus of "Aloha!" Not one person but all the clerks sound off with "Aloha!" I, personally, think it's an overkill of the language. I mean, if you hear it over and over, one may just question the sincerity!!! If their purpose is hospitality why not just hire a "concierge!" On the matter of hygiene, their coffee dispensers and the area is always dirty with bugs flying and spilled coffee and cream on the counter! No one cleans this area and if they do, they clean it infrequently and the coffee containers are empty half the time. Instead of hollering "Aloha," the staff should watch the aisle and counter for cleanliness!! read more

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. read more

ABC Stores - Cute keychains - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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. read more

The Mauna Loa macadamia nuts they sold here were old/expired. They were rancid and reeked of oil and grease. Too bad they were souvenirs for our friends and family and nobody realized until we got back. Strange because everything else we got here was fine. read more

It's your one stop touristy shop. From Hawaiian jewelery, shot glasses, tees, alcohol, covinenient store type food to even shoots of plumerias you can find here. But like I said it's very touristy so it aimed towards the consumers that have no knowledge of getting cheap souvenirs. They are a clean store but the prices are a little high. You can find these souvenirs cheaper at the swap meet on Saturday. read more

Is it wrong that I'm local and I like to go into this tourist trap? This store is huge. Its also different than most of their other stores; it's not brightly fluorescently lit but has mood lighting. This is the location on the ground level by the center stage in Ala Moana Center. They have tons of products. There's sandwiches, fake flower hair supplies, Hawaii nail polish, tshirts and even condoms in the shape of sushi. They have a ton of Hello Kitty items and from what I could see, a decent wine selection for a convenient store. Prices here are decent too, not ridiculously marked up like you would assume. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. When I play tourist or need Hawaii souvenirs, this is my first stop! read more

I brought Tim Tom Timmy and his sister here on Wednesday to grab a small small snack before beach church and Timmy got the new sandwich that were very tasty. It had tuna and a sauce. The sauce almost tasted like Mac salad but different. It also had lettuce, like a real salad. Lol. So yum yummers. Timmy's sister got a sack of nuts. Almost the same price as the sandwich. 8 Mac nuts. She was hungry during church and said she was farting cause she's hungry. Lol. I said "We are here till church is Pau" haha. I caught Timmy grabbing these small funny blue Harry Potter bottles in the store. The bottles near the top. He was saying"look mom. I have small blue boobs". Lol. He's so funny. I like abc store when you don't have time to get chicken nuggers from McDonald's. Plus abc has stuff like candy and local pop. read more

ABC Stores - The funny small bottle. Is this a Harry potter ? - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is my favorite Oahu-based ABC store thus far. They have the most extensive selection of touristy gifts, snacks, clothes, and trinkets I've seen on the island. Plus, some items I had already bought at full price at other ABC stores were on sale here so this location seemed more competitively priced as well. Most importantly, the staff here is the best. They are generous about honoring the customer loyalty program and giving away freebies when you spend over a certain amount at any of the ABC stores on the island. So save your ABC receipts!!! On a serious note, we realized upon returning to the hotel that Jon forgot his cc here and the mall had already closed. When we called the store, the manager offered to wait for us to come back that night to pick it up, and even took precautions to verify his ID before handing his card back. Very impressed with our purchases and overall experience! ;-) read more

I always love all ABC stores, everyone who works here is very nice and subtle and always getting discounts like 10% off during Spring 2020, every ABC store is very nice and only very nice people work here, do not give them a hard time, the nicest people work here, one day I was lost near here the manager gave me a musubi, I was so lost, people know I was traveling and feeling very weary, this store is very compassionate and understanding I was so tired that evening, they have a heart. Mahalo to all ABC stores ! read more

The best staff ever! My transaction today involved some complicated paperwork and Kate was super patient and friendly throughout the lengthy process. She never showed any irritation/frustration and was professional the entire time. She went thru the manual and even spoke to her boss over the phone to accommodate my special request. This does NOT happen at other stores and i was impressed and pleasantly surprised. The check out clerk who asked for Kate (sorry I didn't get her name) was also very professional and didn't treat me like a difficult customer. Overall i had a great experience and am so appreciative that they went out of their way to assist me. Whenever i prepare Hawaiian care package in the future, I'll definitely go back to this store. read more

ABC Stores - Hawaiian goodies - Convenience Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This store is one of the biggest ones in the Waikiki area. It's located at the first floor of Royal Hawaiian Center. We came here a few times. Every time we were here, this place was packed with tourists. The cashiers are very friendly and the wait to pay isn't as bad as other stores in the area. read more

Need something? Well, if you're staying down Waikiki, you are pretty familiar with ABC Stores. Ala Moana has two locations, both downstairs. One is on the beach side of the Macy's wing. The other is located downstairs right next to the stage which are close to the bathrooms. It's the place to pretty much get all the stuff you forgot to pack, or need more of, or just buy cheap looking shirts, postcards, and other junks. The prices aren't that cheap, but hey, you're paying for convenience of getting all your stuff in one stop. read more

Some call it the store for tourists. Some call it "Aloha Brings Customers"....I call it "Alcoholics Best Companion".... This place is your one stop beverage shop if you're ever partying at Ala Moana Beach Park and your last bottle of alcohol drips dry. You know the feeling. You know the risk. Leaving to buy more alcohol only to return to a 30 minute wait for a car to leave the concrete frying pan, not worth it. So what does a smarter than a 5th grader Yelp Elite do?? Bring a bike, of course! Burn burn those foodie calories and abort that food baby you've been sporting for the last couple of months!! I peddled my fat butt down to ABC store located on the mall level @ Ala Moana....it was stocked, convenient and closer than the Atkinson 7-11. Another perk with this ABC store is that it's almost always empty...probably because of it's odd location in between Goma Tei and Gold Exchange (hey, those kind of rhyme) and the parking lot being always crowded in that area. With my bike and trusty quadriceps I was able to make a "run" from Magic Island to ABC store and back in about 15 minutes. I return with $15 Svedka, $1.30 Sprite bottles, $1 water bottles (1.5 L) and $3 Starbuck Double Stacks. I'm happy, the drunks are on their way to Nirvana and Sunday Funday is saved from a fail of epic proportions. "Alcoholics Best Companion" alias, well earned. #YELP 365 - 029/365 read more

When I came here, the place was well understocked. Granted, it's a busy place, but isn't that more reason to want to always be stocked? I was at least able to get some bottled water. That's nice. read more

Usually go here first to buy a drink before going to food court to eat, it's a lot cheaper to buy a fountain drink or bottled water at ABC. The drinks are always stocked. Sometimes there can be a line but it moves quickly. This store is a same as the ones in Waikiki. The store is always clean. Good place to pick up last minute souvenirs for visitors. read more

I'm really surprised by all of the negative reviews! I think ABC stores, especially this one, are baller convenient stores! With sparkly clean floors (I saw my reflection), a nice flow, and stocked-to-the-brim shelves, it's hard to hate this place, especially since the prices for goods resembled the mainland (aka really affordable). For example, waters and drinks fall somewhere between $1.50 to $3. Snacks fall somewhere around $4 to $7! These are great prices for a traveler in Hawaii! Sure, it's touristy and they have those straw mats and hula girl statues that you can buy, but it doesn't mean that it isn't a convenient store! Plus, the people there were nice as ever and one called me sweetie. (Heyyy.) I also saw locals there, too, so that's a good sign. I love ABC Stores, especially this one! read more

Chain store, all over Hawaii. This one in particular is inside the Ala Moana Center mall. Got most of our souvenirs here like sarongs, macadamia nut chocolates, postcards and little silly knickknacks. Price is ok, affordable but I know I could get these things @ a cheaper price @ the International Market Place...only if the bf & I had time and patience. :) read more

There are a billion of these all over Hawaii, but that's OK. I wanted to get some simple souvenirs and what better place to go to than an ABC Store? First thing I noticed in this particular store was that they had a selection of clothes - really cute dresses with floral print. A quick try on in the dressing room and the dress ended up in my basket. Needed a new beach bag. Got it. Hubby found a baseball cap that fit him. Got it. Oh, and yes, did end up getting the souvenirs I was looking for. :) read more
