KTA Express, you're a lifesaver!…read more I came to the KTA Express store twice in recent weeks, and this store/supermarket totally saved me from having to drive back in town (Kailua-Kona) to buy something I sorely needed. I was working at a local bank next door doing some lock work when I realized I needed a few 9-volt batteries to fix something. Being that I was traveling, and did not have access to all my normal gear, I asked the bank people where was the nearest store? Originally I was worried that I might have to drive all the way back to Kailua-Kona to get what I needed, but luckily KTA had a store in Kealakekua. Walked over to the KTA store, as it was just a hop, skip, & jump away from the local bank (where I was working). Got what I needed, and time & resources were saved that day! Last week Thursday I found myself back in Kealakekua working at a credit union this time. No, I didn't need anything in particular for the credit union this time, but after finishing the job at the credit union, the KTA store was very convenient for me to get some drinks & some grub. Apparently the KTA Express has a vendor - L&L Drive-In that does pre-made - ready to eat bentos. Some of the items looked pretty good, so I decided to give it a shot & picked up a mini BBQ Chicken & Noodle Bento. The mini bento was pretty tasty, and best part of it all is that I didn't have to go far to get my lunch grub. KTA Express in Kealakekua, you're a lifesaver! Lol!

Parking: They have a small parking lot. Very easy to find. Free parking. This was a large market. It had everything a grocery store provided, but products were a bit more expensive than usual.

My sister lurched out to the lanai to ask me if I could go get her prescription from Longs. She had spent the previous 2 hours waiting for a 5-minute e-visit with the doc. Whoosh! Down the road. I made it through the throngs of last minute shoppers to the pharmacy 5 minutes after they were supposed to close. About 5 minutes later I had the Rx.

There are only so many places you can shop on The Big Island…read more Sometimes you have to take one for the team and bow down to The Evil Empire from Bentonville. What works here: At least during our visits, the store was well stocked. This actually shocked me because holy shit, it makes no difference whether you are here on a weekday/weekend/noon/15 minutes before closing, they are always, always, always packed. Bizarre mix of a store that is not an old school 80's style Walmart but it's also not a Supercenter either as the store does not have enough square footage. With that said, there is certainly a little of this and a little of that in here. Pharmacy? Sure New cell phone plus a service provider for it? Yep Garden Center? Of course McD's for a greasing? Naturally Eye Exam? Why not Booze? Duh There is also the usual mix of clothing, office crap, basic sporting gear, an aisle of "local" favorites and while not a full grocery store/experience - there is more here than what you would think. What doesn't work here: Checking out can be tough due to said crazy busyness. Also note that they don't do shopping bags here in the traditional sense so BYO on that one. The parking lot situation is an insurance claim adjuster's wet dream. People walking from all sides & directions like mindless zombies. Cars coming from multiple entrance/exit points. Other strip mall stores like Gamestop/Domino's/Ross also use the same parking lot. It's a lot. You find religion before each backup attempt. Open daily from 6am-11pm and if this doesn't cut it for you, there is a Safeway and a Target around the corner.
