This Ross is hands down one of the best I've EVER been to. The Ross Stores in CA are JUNK. The Ross…read morestores on Oahu are pretty good, but the Ross Store in Hilo is a GEM! I first started shopping here in 2005 when I was living in Keaau but I keep going back whenever I'm in town. Now granted if you show up when a cruise ship is in town then definitely things will get sparse but the brands and things they carry in here are the BEST. Of course like every store, especially BARGAIN stores, it's gonna have it's good days and bad days but luckily for me, the Ross angels always smile upon me and I find the coolest stuff. For those who don't know, here's some tips about this store: - You need to take some time in here to go through everything. That's when you find the killer stuff. I've gotten Via Spiga shoes for $8, Armani pants for $5, guess jeans for $1, Calvin Klein sweater/shrug for $6 and lots of other brand names you see in Nordstroms sold here. -You have to go with no particular items in mind. If you came here with a specific item in mind that you want, you'll probably be disappointed, but if you just come and let the spirit guide you, you're gonna find some great things. Just recently, I got my sister a $250 Speedo Parka (the kind swimmers wear at meets and/or you wear at a football game on the mainland) for $15. She's been wanting this too and how random is that I found it here?!? -I found that the non-island essentials are the cheapest; long sleeve Ralph Lauren polo shirts, leather jackets, sweaters, suits, etc. I've noticed that it's the super high end brand names in winter/cold weather styles is what's plentiful and cheapest here. Slippers, jean shorts, tanks and bathing suits are never gonna be on sale here and are usually the tourists/locals first choice items so you might find yourself better off at a Macy's 1 day sale for price and selection. At any rate, Ross ain't for everybody and it's definitely not a Macy's or Neiman Marcus, but it's clean and friendly enough. It's a bargain hunters playground!

They seem to be training well, and creating a good work environment. What stands out most to me is the employees are always really friendly and they seem genuinely happy to work here. They are always saying hello and asking if I need anything. It reminds me of the 5 star service at our nearby resorts. And it is really, really appreciated. The store is organized and clean. The selection of merchandise is great which is so nice in our area since it is difficult to find good quality and up to date goods. I shop here once a month and I never leave without something.

This time we got there when their hours say "open" only to find a note saying that due to Covid we could not go in. I called the number and was told they were taking people by appointment only and they would not take me. I understand that there are many changes to schedules and routines due to Covid but perhaps a bit of a heads up would have been nice, like a message on your webpage so I don't drive all the way to you only to be turned away. Update your information so everyone knows what is going on. I would have loved to see the beautiful bonsais and purchase one but I will never return. Five tries is it for me.

Pickup is convenient! Do NOT get Shipt!…read more You cannot return items & they do not tell you this upfront. It is extremely difficult to get a hold of a live person. They think noting of telling you an arrival time and then change it to the next day. So, don't count on them if you need something right away. I think shoppers must "claim" your order and several others, so delivery takes a long time. I will not renew my subscription. The one is for the second to last order. It is okay if you never need to return anything. I will do pickup instead.
