Aloha Island Mart

Super convenient for Palolo Valley residents! I love that it is actually inside the valley so it doesn’t get as busy as other gas spots on Waialae. It’s like a gas station just for us! I also like the mini-​mart inside. This mart has saved my butt from having to go to the grocery store on crazy holiday eves a few times when I ran out of something simple like milk. Sure it’s ridiculously overpriced but I’m always willing to spend a few extra dollars to avoid Times or Foodland on Thanksgiving eve!
I’m not sure if they still give the discount for showing your Maika’i card inside but the workers are awesome & have given me the discount several times in the past even when I didn’t have my card on me. I swear I have one, I just have several different key sets & don’t have my card on every single one & lost the regular sized one that normally stays in my wallet.

Growing up in Palolo Valley, I grew up filling in gas and getting my much needed Icees here. My grandma and grandpa always took me here to get snacks and drinks, so it’s been a constant and very convenient staple in my life.
Located on Palolo’s 10^th avenue, the gas station is conveniently located opposite the Palolo avenue location. The 10^th avenue location is nowhere near as crowded as the other, so this is a better location when in a rush during the grime of the day.
There’s a lot of parking in the front if you don’t need to fill in gas but want something from the well stocked market. They have many assorted drinks and hot snacks (spam musubis, hot dogs, etc) the workers are always friendly and ask how your day is going, it’s a nice place to stop and go! If you’re ever in the area and need absolutely anything, definitely considering paying the 10^th avenue Aloha Mart!
