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!

If you're planning to start a food business, I recommend getting your restaurant equipment from…read morethese guys. About 10 years ago, they made an exhaust fan for my lunch wagon, and I consider it a big stroke of luck that I met the owner back then. Compared to other places, it's much cheaper and I can say the satisfaction is top-notch. Not only that, I want to say their after-hours service is outstanding. Recently, my exhaust fan broke down and I had a hard time finding a replacement but they fixed the motor immediately when I brought it to them so I was able to open my business sooner than expected and not be closed for a whole week which was great. The owner there is super busy and hard to meet, but the staff will take full responsibility and solve everything. Thanks a bunch guys!

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.

If you go past the first hoop they will try to blame the problem on someone else, and divorce themselves from the process of solving the problem,,,pass that and they will claim you have to replace all those parts, even if you do not. 15 years ago I tried to use them to fix an obstruction with the pump mechanism of a professional dishwasher. They wanted to change the pumps. One of my employees said this is nonsense, he fixed it removing a small piece of plastic inside the pump. Good bye FEPSCO.

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

Last Christmas I used all of my supply of cellophane bags that I used to bag the cookies in. The supplier I used to buy my bags no longer exist. Boo hoo. As you can see, I was in desperate need of finding another supplier. One day when I was checking out my friend Nadine's activity I came across...ISLANDS MARKETING. When I read her review, it was exactly what I was looking for. Yay, I was so happy to hear about this supplier. Finally, I had a day off during the week so I took a ride to Kalihi to check them out. I was blown away the moment I stepped foot into the tiny storefront.! I am a sucker for gift bags, cellophane bags, cute food boxes, containers and packaging supplies. This is the place to come. The prices are reasonable too! Eric the owner was very friendly and helpful. He showed me different types of cellophane bags for my cookies. He recommended that I buy the lip and tape bags to keep my cookies fresh longer. I bought a pack of 100 lip and tape bags as well as other cellophane bags for other purposes. I will definitely be back for more! If you are looking for packaging supplies that are cute and purposeful, come check out ISLANDS MARKETING in Kalihi. You'll thank me for that!
