You can find some local products and gourmet food supplies that you may not be able to find at other places. You will find frozen products and produce in the chiller and containers, utensils & plastic bags and other restaurant supplies. Sometimes they have specials going on and gourmet items that you will need to make your dish a stand out. It great to browse around and see what they have. They have free memberships for Ohana and business memberships. For businesses, can enter 2 hour prior from regular memberships. Although they may not turn away paying customers if they happened to show up early. There's enough free parking available. Recently forgot something in my cart and I took a chance to call if anyone turned it in. Yay, they had it on their log and so grateful. The chef zone's red roof can be seen from afar! It's located at Ualena street and close to Lagoon Drive! Sign up and your card will be ready when the next time you visit again.

Shopping in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. We stumbled upon KYD, Inc. K. Yamada Distributors when we searched our Yelp apps for "shopping". This is an interesting store that has takeout containers, disposable utensils, dressings, jams, canned corned beef, salsa, cleaning products, etc. I paid attention to the "Hot Sale" signs for the best prices and great deals. I found sleeves of cups that my mom likes to use to serve certain desserts. It's challenging to find these disposable cups! I had looked everywhere for them! Now, I find them for $3 ... wow! I think I need to return! I saw packs of plastic spoons for $2. Maybe I should get them for the next family party... Tip: use cash to avoid the 2.5% credit card fee. Also: They asked for a name for the sale... for their records

Locally packed…read more.. The need to support local for various packing items KYD, Inc is an awesome place that does provide materials not just to the retail industry but for the general public as well. Nadine C suggested to check this place out which I'm so happy I did though the location is in the Lagoon Drive area which we all know the parking situation is tough though they do have a few stalls right in front of the biz many do drive by and double park behind you so if you find a street parking it's totally suggested the best way to avoid getting blocked. The door is to the left of the building and is actually the Will Call area though they do have a lot of shelves to display their inventory which does include cleaning chemicals, food containers, gloves and many items that you just don't see like foam trays. Their clearance section items starts from $0.50 with sale items from $1 finding items for your event doesn't have to be pricey. Thank you!

They are always amazing. Their product line is beautiful and their service is excellent.read more

Over 30 years in business!…read more I searched Yelp for jewelry boxes and this business popped up in my inquiry. I'm so happy when I called Island Marketing (IM) and it was open today and allows walk ins. There is a parking lot right in front of its business. Easy access and as you enter IM, there is a compact front showcase section that shows much of what IM carries for wholesale and retail. So many choices here! I met Eric, one of the two owners, who work tirelessly here. It's amazing how much inventory is carried in this business. You may browse around at the variety of boxes, gift bags, baking supplies, ribbons, business stickers and so much more here! Please enjoy the pictures to have a better idea of what is offered here. Prices appear reasonable, with bulk and wholesale discounts available. Support local

Visited our favorite Japanese / Asian store, Marukai Wholesale located on Dillingham Highway. The…read moreroad work is in its final stages, but you still have to approach the driveway heading Ewa along Dillingham. Today they were featuring products from Okinawa. I love the produce department which features imported produce from Japan. Although pricey the quality and taste are Top Notch. Local produce is fresh and vibrant. The fresh meats and seafoods are replenished daily always fresh. Sales associates and cashiers are always helpful and friendly.

I Heart Marukai…read more Going to Marukai is like being in a candy store for me. Entering the store, my senses are barraged with upteen choices, starting with snacks. Really have to hold myself back as I could subsist on Japanese snacks alone lol. Love that freshly milled rice is available here, amongst the myriad of bagged rice choices. Hot and cold food available here, along with poke bar and food items of regional fairs regularly held here. Getting here may pose a challenge with lane closures due to rail construction. Once you get here, finding parking is usually not an issue (save special holidays). Perhaps tonight I will be dreaming of having a shopping spree at Marukai where I get to consume what I wish to my hearts delight!

Drive between the warehouses and head towards the back and to the left you will see a chain fence with flags. You can park in the area outside of the fence. Impressed with their sustainable selections. Staff local, friendly and very helpful. Remember, restaurants will continue to serve Styrofoam as long as we accept it. Be vocal, tell your favorite places to eat that you don't want any more plastic or styrofoam. Hawai'i cannot be No Ka 'Oi if the 'aina suffers. No excuses.

It's a little on the pricey side... but I haven't been to another restaurant equipment store so can't really say for sure just comparing to the commercial restaurant pots from Sam's club. They only had a few selection of the things I came in for but ended up getting other things that I forgot I needed as well. Some things didn't have a price label which I felt was inconsistent through out the store... but it's fine. The cashier was friendly and even gave me 10% off my first purchase!

Shopping in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. We were in the area and had some time, so we decided to investigate... Hawaiian Beauty Products is located at the end of a warehouse. Drive to the end, and you'll see an opening. It's not air-conditioned, but the room of nail polishes has air-conditioning. Some items were on sale. I was tempted, but I keep telling myself that I don't "need" it... Like the Hello Kitty x OPI set... very cute and kind of useful... I asked the nice woman cashier if there was a restroom. She pointed me in the right direction... thank you! I'll tell my friend's daughter about this place. She's taking classes to be an esthetician. She might need manicure tools, hair color, shampoo, conditioner, acetone, etc.
