Ok... so Kaneohe BRED & BORN so when I say this place changed... IT CHANGED!…read more Too bad they don't have the fountain and mcd's and tilt! Those were the most memorable places because they had AKSHON! Cosmic candies was another memorable spot! I think when they closed down, that's when the mall changed! Afterwards, kids grew up, adults got angrier, teens dispersed and Kaneohe no longer was FAMILY! It opened up to a new generation. Yet, they still have this mall. Constant changes, new businesses every 3-5 years. None that sticks around. Only a handful didn't leave. Let's hope this place can become a family place again.

Lots of options…read more.. Love this location versus the more famous one down the street though yes it's more an outdoor mall and yes the bathroom situation needs the biggest improvement of it all, the shops they have here are great with McD'z, Starbucks, Ross and yes FHB just to name a few parking is never really an issue here as majority are centrally located and with so many options to choose from I can see why it's actually getting much more crowded than it used to be. On this visit I came to drop of some donation at a Goodwill that they also have and most likely can't resist a peek into Ross but lots of service shops all in one place makes it my favorite spot to get some errands done. Thank you!

TBH, because I'm a Kaneohe girl... BORN & RAISED I might sound a bit BIAS, but I promise IM…read moreNOT! (Most times... ) Anywho, we went here for dinner and I LOVED IT because we could choose from 4 different restaurants AND a grocery store to eat at. PLUS TOO, they stayed open til 9/10pm. Most places like these are closed by 7/8pm because of location or they're in the mall. But here it was really good too because they have other stores nearby. Like LONGS OR WALMART & there was a burger joint on the other side. Even a Jamba Juice. Not sure how long that stays open but, they have a variety of places to eat here! I went to eat at SUMO RAMEN. Dad & the kids went to L&L's and Pandas. Typical LOCALS! I'm the ONLY ONE in the family that LOVES TO EAT AUTHENTIC FOODS! I'm NOT spoiled or ritzy! I was just taught well by an aunty on where to eat and HOW to eat well. My husband on the other hand, was taught how I just EAT! Although my kids DO eat what I enjoy, they will always pick local style foods over ethnic or authentic. But YES! This place is DEFINITELY WORTH THE LOOK! Oh! They also have a GOODYEAR HERE TOO! So if you ever need your tires fixed, go here so you have options to shop around at. And if you're there during the morning or afternoon, well you're in luck cause, they're literally right across the street is the MALL! So you have so much options just stopping off here. Hope you enjoy the food! Or shopping! Thanks for reading. Have a good one!

Looking to shop, grab a bite, get your car serviced, inquire on your cellular needs, do banking…read moreerrands, get lab work done or need to attend to your pets on the Windward side? Head over to Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center (KBSC). Established in 1971, KBSC has been serving the Kamaaina and visitors on the Windward side. It houses big name tenants of Safeway, Goodyear, Long's, Starbucks, Panda Express, L&L Hawaiian BBQ, Central Pacific Bank, First Hawaiian Bank, Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, Petco, 7-11, and Diagnostic Laboratory Services. A lot can be accomplished at KBSC and can get good deals on $5 Fridays at Safeway or grabbing a massive plate lunch from L&L or create your own Chinese plate from Panda's, which makes a popular restaurant for grab and go. The closure of Kaneohe Bakery and Deluxe Pastry Shop in recent years had residents of 96744 yearning for breakfast treats but step in Donut King, which opened earlier this year in KBSC. You can also fill up gas at Kaneohe Bay 76 (Union 76) and grab a Musubi and a slurpee from 7-11 that's conveniently located. You also have a Starbucks and Jamba Juice on property as well. There's lots of parking in this structure which makes it ideal to run errands here but why not 5-stars? Couple years ago they repainted the parking stall lines and decided to make the stall narrower which makes it frustrating at times to park. You will need to pay extra attention, especially when a large number of patrons come to KBSC with trucks and vans. This makes it challenging to park here and many times will witness cars either hugging the lines or clearly pass the borders. KBSC is still going strong with so many options to shop and run errands with lots of parking which makes it a great place for locals and visitors.

Shopping in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. Besides Windward Mall, Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center, and Windward City Shopping Center, customers in Kaneohe can shop and dine at Kaneohe Shopping Center. Currently, the main business here is Times Supermarket. The restaurants are Sikdorak II, Club Komomai, Tea Home, and Kizuna Sushi Bar and Grill. There's also a laundromat, Goodwill Donation Center, H&R Block, Eagle Nails, and Goodyear Auto Service. There's one entrance on Kamehameha Highway and two on Paleka Road. It's probably safer to enter and leave from Paleka Road because Kamehameha Highway can be very busy at times. Kaneohe Shopping Center has four main buildings and has an L-shaped configuration since the Kaneohe Fire Department is on the corner of Kamehameha Highway and Paleka Road. Come support local businesses if you're on the Windward side of the island!

Kailua Town center has been a really fun place to go to lately!…read more They sometimes throw events or have cute things going on that you'd WANT to make the drive over to Kailua! Last christmas they had a bunch of cute photo ops. I'm glad i took the time to go down because it was really cute and apparently the last christmas for my dog, Nala. I'm glad i was able to capture some memories with happier times when she was somewhat healthier. On Thursdays - they have farmers markets in the evening. Don't forget to bring cash with you (which i totally forgot). There are some food vendors that will take credit card tho. Recently they've been throwing little events around Kailua town too. The lei bus has been there in the past and we went to go do our free photo op with them in February. This past week they had the sip and shop over the weekend. You collect stamps around Kailua town (a lanyard is provided) and you can win a $500 gift card for completion. You can get a bunch of freebies with the lanyard too! There was mocktails, a lot of drinks, cotton candy, and shave ice! The Lei bus was also there again too for the cute photo op. it was really busy at this event since the farmers market was also happening that night, so parking was a little limited compared to other days.

There are seven businesses there: Don Goya's Mexican Food, Haiku Veterinary Clinic, Tina's Barber Shop, Legal Aid Society, Christian Science Center, Edward Jones, and T & T Nails. The parking spaces are tight and few at peak times. The location is right before the Kaneohe Public Library/Police Station at a relatively busy part of Kaneohe Town. Go slowly and be careful - the driveway is a two-way lane!

I drive a fairly nice car with a low front end. I parked in one spot and realized that the truck next to me would have a very difficult time getting out without hitting me so I moved to another spot. The cement tire stop was very high. When I backed out it pulled my front bumper loose. I don't plan on going back to these businesses again because of the parking.

Situated in the heart of the Ko'olau Windward side, Koolau Center is located on the main artery…read moreroad directly across from the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park & the serene Koolau Mountains. If you are not used of the quiet environment and slow pace in life obviously you won't be able to enjoy this in a long run. No tall buildings in here just few essential businesses e.g. McDonalds, Times Supermarket, few restaurants like Ninja sushi, Koolau Drive Inn & Mexican Restaurant, movie theater and the city & county DMV. Life is simple and no loud ringings (this ain't like Waikiki). Tourists won't find excitement in here (unless you will visit Byodo-In Temple across). This is mainly a hub for locals who peacefully living it simply. Residents like me enjoy the serenity every time I come up here. And for sure will always love coming up here on the future. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

The Koolau shopping center has to be one of the most poorly designed and inconvenient shopping…read morecenters on this island. Times supermarket has no public restrooms, the Mexican restaurant there is pretty good and usually allows people to use if needed. The Koolau McDonalds is terrible on customer service! Not only do they have a number lock on the door, the employees there won't tell you the code until you order something! Even if you tell them you are going to place an order but have to use the restroom 1st! They are just ruthless! The old Koolau theater that is just sitting there wasting space and vacant should at least be opened so people can use the restroom while shopping over there. People with health issues should never be denied access to a restroom. There's no aloha in that!

Shopping and dining in Kailua, Oahu,Hawaii…read more.. Located on busy Kailua Road - on the Windward side of the island - Kailua Shopping Center is across the street from Kailua Town Center. It's easy to confuse... just remember that Kailua Shopping Center has Times Supermarket as one anchor and Lanikai Juice as the other anchor. Another good landmark is BookEnds because their sign is the tallest and largest of all of the businesses. In-between the anchors, the popular eateries are Donut King, Mexico Lindo, Paniolo's, Aloha Salads, India Cafe, Island Snow, Morning Brew, and newcomer, Mala Market (second location). Current shopping options include: Coco's Trading Post, Dogtown Bakery, Stussy, SoHa KEIKI, Lanikai Bath and Body, Windward Jewelers, and Classic Waves. If you need some services, AT&T, Kailua Nail Care, and Cornerstone Community Chiropractic are here. There's a convenient restroom in the corner (by Dogtown Bakery) and free parking all around. When you're in Kailua, stop by this open-air strip mall and enjoy the relaxed vibe!

Kailua is the place to shop…read more.. One of many shopping center the one thing that will certainly see is the giant storefront sign for BookEnds with that you know you're there and one of the smaller place actually is filled with a great variety of tenants. On this visit I did revisit places like BookEnds and Lanikai Juice though did discover several new places (for myself) like Mālā Market...thank you bestie Nadine for the correction, Lanikai Bath and Body, Coco's Trading Post. That just scratch the surface of what you're able to find at this amazing place cause if it's machines you got Aloha Salads, Morning Brew, Mālā Market, Times Supermarket, Paniolo's, India Cafe and Donut King. My newest love shopping here is Lanikai Bath and Body but there are some jewelry shops, Stussy, SoHa Keiki and yes BookEnds who did have a box of free books outside shows what a cool vibe this area has. So much you can do in one place makes Kailua Shopping Center so easy to support local all in one spot. Thank you!

I purchased two items at full price in November. They have a strict 30 day exchange policy. They run out of stuff fast so i asked if i could return items in December and repurchase so that it could be exchanged if needed since it was a Christmas gift. I was told i could. Went back in December and now the item is on sale so i could now get it at the sale price but all sales final. Opted for a gift card which is fine (full price i paid). Since it was a gift, i asked if i could increase it, so it is an even number since it is a gift. The system would not allow them to put it on one gift card. So now im giving two gift cards for a gift to total an even number. Again staff was excellent but owners need to do something about exchange policy especially during Christmas. Even if the recipient were to get less than i paid, i would have been fine with it, but at least they could get what they want and the store would probably make more money. Truly love supporting local and will still shop since product is good and staff are amazing but exchange policy could be much better.
