Once in awhile you'll come across a small business that has integrity and outstanding…read morecharacter..The Refinery is one of these rare businesses. I recently had an issue with a product that I had purchased. An amazing lady named Sarra reached out to me, and resolve my issue in the most outstanding way. She went out of her way to let me know that my concern was validated and taken seriously. She was courteous gracious and most understanding. In an world where social media dominates everything and everyone, I just wanted to take the time to give a shout out to Sarra and the Refinery team for their care and professionalism. it was my first time visiting this business and it certainly won't be my last. I highly recommend The Refinery for any unique gifts idea you may need in the future..it's an amazing company....

Coming here supports a local business, so I always try and shop here when I need art supplies that…read moreare not toooooo niche. All the employees I've encountered here have been wonderful and always willing to help. The store is also very well organized. Where it sometimes falls short is that sometimes, the item is out of stock and the employees never really know when new inventory will come in. Again, this is for my niche items (specifically I needed a kneaded eraser recently). Aside from that; there is usually always an alternative that staff is happy to help you find. Cost is comparable to big box office supply stores but the added benefit is supporting local!

I personally prefer the main store @ Mapunapuna . Very limited parking in front of building if it's full you'll need to go behind the store for additional parking .

Just heard as I was watching the Korean Drama that Woorimart has a closing sale! Probably because…read moreof low sales, but they were there for years. Over the years I have gotten a bed quilt, little gadgets and a lot of household items. They have a wide range of items from Korea. Not too many places carry many products from Korea. Some items might be pricey compared items you may find at Daiso from Japan. Korea products are well made. I'm not sure when they are closing, but I want to shop one more time before they close. They have a sale so perfect time to check them out if you haven't been there! It's on Beretania Street on the right side between Kalakaua Avenue and Makiki St ! It's in an old car repair place. Thank you Woorimart ! It was fun shopping there!

Terry K. wanted to buy some tea cups for an upcoming Yelp UYE, and we had time after lunch so I…read moreoffered to take her to look at some places where they might be sold. She had gone to Daiso on Piikoi but had heard that they recently opened a location downtown on Hotel Street. So off we went. After finding parking on Bethel Street, we walked a couple blocks mauka and spotted the new store. Terry found a few tea cups but needed more. Next we drove over to the Daiso on Piikoi where Terry had purchased a few cups recently, hoping they had restocked. No such luck. So we drove over to Woori Mart which is a Korean home goods store. Neither Terry nor I had been there before but it has great street frontage visibility on Beretania just past Kalakaua Avenue, so when Terry said she wanted to look there, I knew exactly where it was, despite the strange name. The store has ample parking on the right side of the driveway as you enter the property. IIRC, that warehouse used to house an auto dealership in the glory days of auto sales. Now it houses a Korean version of a mini IKEA. There were no customers in the store when we got there and I had an eerie feeling in the virtually empty store like we would be rushed by zombies from the "Train to Busan". Happy that the zombies were not gnawing on our legs, I still maintained my alertness because the strong vibe continued. We acknowledged, then ignored the two employees as they ignored us, but I still kept them in my peripheral vision while Terry milled around the aisles for her vials. Yups, her cups. And then it happened. The conversation between the two employees became a little agitated and their voices climbed an octave. So I moved around to the side just in time to see one of the employees semi-flail her arms and then take a couple hops like a bunny on its hind legs. I was a little taken aback but not shocked because it looked harmless like she was excising herself from the slightly malevolent spirits of boredom after working there almost all day. But I was not sure because I did not want to look directly into her eyes. It was at that point that I realized my camera had not eaten so having missed recording that moment, I decided to take shots of the interior. As I turned toward the door to compose my shot, two Korean women walked in and turned right to the back of the store where towels, blankets and mattresses were displayed. If anywhere, I thought, that would be where the zombies would be sleeping, waiting to attack. But the eerie feeling was gone. There were no zombies in the store, and very few customers. And soon Woori Mart may be gone as well.

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I saw the sidewalk sign that read: "SHOP CUTE" ...and I had to look... especially because the name of the store is intriguing... Every Day Better by Green Meadows is a shop that carries eco-conscious merchandise. There were bags, clothing, jewelry, books, little ceramic animal figures, air plants, packing cube sets, umbrellas with duckie faces on the handles, fabric koi fish hanging flags from France, insulated lunch bags, pillows, clothing, wrapping paper, gift bags, and more! I need to return because I only got a reusable Hello Kitty bag and a couple of greeting cards... haha! Metered street parking is nearby. The municipal parking lot is over on the next block.

I'm telling you, Fion Enterprise is one of those places that just gets it. From the second you walk…read morein, you feel the difference. It's not that corporate, rushed, "next customer please" kind of vibe -- it's warm, it's personal, and it genuinely feels like home. That kind of service is rare these days, and these folks have it down to an art. The space is kind of tight, but it's ok and parking is sometimes a little limited so plan ahead and visit the shop on days it isn't too busy. Esmerelda here is something special. Attentive without being in your face, helpful without making you feel like a burden -- just real, authentic people who take pride in what they do. You can tell they actually care about the people they serve, not just the transaction. That means everything to us locals, and it'll mean everything to you too. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, they treat you the same -- like ohana. No pretense, no attitude. Just good people doing good work with a smile. That kind of consistency is exactly why the community keeps coming back, and exactly why word spreads. If you're in the Laie or North Shore area and you haven't checked out Fion Enterprise yet, you're sleeping on one of the best-kept secrets on this side of the island. Support local, feel the aloha, and experience service the way it should be done.

After filing a claim and being told that warehouse made an error I'm still waiting for a replacement which should be arriving toward the 3rd week of June. It's July and no one has responded or followed up. I'm not ever going to recommend this place to anyone. May as well stick to the more reliable Red Knot/Ashley company which have been around forever. Unfortunately they are failing in the area of customer service and will be the demise of any business in the long run.
