ABC Stores #78

The most convenient store for all groceries, gifts, packed meals and liquor in Hawaii. There is usually one every half mile in the main towns. They have a rewards program if you buy items totalling $100 or more if you show your receipts (every 100 gets a gift and you can pool different ABC store receipts).

Prices are a bit high but are comparable to most Hawaiian grocery stores.

For gifts they have a pretty good selection with shirts ($6 or $15, children, adult), fridge magnets, ukulele, mugs etc.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our visit to ABC Stores #78 was nothing short of exceptional, and it's more than deserving of a 5-star review. This store goes above and beyond in promoting the authentic Hawaiian culture, and it warmly welcomed us, even as visitors with light complexions, into the "Ohana" (family) with open arms.

From the moment we stepped inside, it was evident that ABC Stores #78 was not just a typical convenience store. It was a delightful showcase of Hawaiian culture, offering an array of locally sourced products, traditional souvenirs, and an ambiance that made us feel like we were truly experiencing the spirit of Hawaii.

What made our experience truly special was the way the staff treated us. They didn't just provide customer service; they embraced us as part of their Ohana. Their genuine warmth and hospitality were felt in every interaction. We were greeted with smiles and aloha spirit, and they took the time to share insights about the products, culture, and history of Hawaii.

As light-complexioned visitors, we were initially concerned about feeling like outsiders, but ABC Stores #78 shattered those concerns. They created an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background, could appreciate and celebrate Hawaiian culture. It was a beautiful reminder of the true essence of Hawaii, which is about unity, diversity, and a sense of family.

The store's commitment to promoting authentic Hawaiian culture was evident in their selection of items, from locally made crafts to traditional snacks and clothing. It allowed us to take a piece of Hawaii's rich heritage home with us, making our visit all the more memorable.

In conclusion, ABC Stores #78 is a shining example of how a store can go beyond being just a retail outlet and become a cultural ambassador. Their dedication to preserving and sharing Hawaiian traditions while making all visitors feel like Ohana is commendable. We left with not just souvenirs but also a deep appreciation for Hawaiian culture and the warm, welcoming spirit of its people. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much), ABC Stores #78, for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this store to anyone visiting Hawaii.

Friendly staff!
Great variety of merchandise!

Great little Convenience store with lots of neat Hawaii gifts for friends and family. Cool shirts as well!

classic abc store, if you’re looking for peace tea, keep walking to abc store #38 as this one doesn’t carry it

So many ABC stores in the area but this one was our favorite!

This perfectly located store had everything I needed.

친절해요.

One of the nicest locations, you can find what you want. You can’t be at Waikiki and don’t buy from an ABC store.

Getting the spam musubi before closing time will give you diarrhea. Maybe worth it

To the BIG guy that was working at the register at around 6:30/6:40pm on 02/18/24. Fix your attitude and customer service. Don't treat us (Locals) RUDE! I kindly asked you to make smaller bills and you grabbed the $100 from my hand. Shame on you, Do Better!!!

Been there 4 days in a row. Non of the ice cream or drinks work always out of order. Time to get a new manager. Sorry store #38
