But the biggest negative is the limited selection. I was at 7-Eleven the day before, and that's the clearest example to me.

I took part in their shirts sale and chose a few shirts to remember my trip from. I remember I really liked how it felt inside the store because the AC was blasting and it was very bright but also warm. I highly recommend shopping here, especially if you are in the area. So many types of souvenirs more than your basic gift shops in other cities. Pricing is pretty reasonable and the haul from here was great. I also bought some slippers from here and really enjoyed the comfort and durability of them. The ladies working here are really kind and sweet, being very hospitable. You can also get a free bag (a good cloth quality) when you purchase up to a certain amount. We walked through the village and just strolled in here. Definitely a good last stop before leaving this place. They are open late into the nights like 11PM.

You can see many different kinds of souvenirs to bring home. At the entrance, there are a ton of souvenir T-shirts and dresses. I was looking for the cute and trendy flower hairclips and was super happy to find them. The other branch too of ABC stores can have different variations in merch sold so definitely look through both. They're walking distance from each other. ABC stores have good sales for lots of items. You can find stickers, refrigerator magnets, slippers, kitchen and household items, leis. Lots of affordable pricing for Hawaiian candy, gifts, snacks, and jewelry. Super happy we shopped here!

Last minute shopping for gifts…read more.. I can always count on an ABC store when doing last minute shopping gifts to bring home. We didn't have much time to do shopping in this trip. Our days were filled with sightseeing activities. We tried to cram all our adventures in our short time in the Big Island... 3-1/2 days was not enough to see everything and do what we planned. After a long day out-and-about we went shopping at this ABC Store in Kailua-Kona. There are actually three ABC Stores on Ali'i Drive (so there's this one, another at the Sunset Plaza and the other at the Kona Inn Shopping Village). There is also an ABC Store at the Marriott Courtyard King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. There is no shortage of souvenir shopping in this area. If you've been to an ABC Store you know it's a themed clothing store and they sell e-v-e-r-y-t-h-I-n-g!! Like every souvenir you can think of. Coffee beans, macadamia nut chocolates, calendars, mugs, jewelry, home goods, food, gift items. So here in Hawaii, of course, everything is Island-themed while in Las Vegas their ABC Stores are all Vegas-themed stuff. This location is about a 5-min drive (1.8 miles) from our resort at the Royal Sea Cliff Kona. Hold on to your receipts! For every $100 (or more) spent you can get a free gift from their gift item selection. Take your receipts back to the cashier and they will add them up to get your free gift. The purchases can be during the course of your stay. Review #2295

There is a big Kona sign outside the store where you can take picture. They have benches to sit and eat.

But the lady working there was so nice and explained everything! They even signed me up for the discount card. Mahalo for being so kind to this clueless mainlander! We got the 2 orders of the combo with 2 chicken thighs and 1 drumstick and 3 pieces of fried, batter dipped potato wedges. Pieces were large and meaty. It was a lot of food! Only $8.99 with the discount card for each box. The potatoes were tender and quite tasty. We really enjoyed them. Chicken itself was flavorful, although we found the crust too salty. It was a tiny bit dry. Not sure how long it had been sitting there. The crust was very crunchy. Everything was hot and well packaged. Overall, a great deal and worth a try if you're in the area! Location of this one is very convenient - just South of the airport and near the Costco.
