ABC Stores

ABC stores are your go to place for both sundries as souvenirs on the islands of Hawaii! From t-​shirts to hand lotion to booze, you can find what you need at an ABC store.
As this one is in a mall, it is one of the smaller ones I’ve been in. Some of them are so huge you can get lost in them but this one being smaller, greatly limits it’s selection which is a shame as the whole charm of an ABC store is to see how much stuff they can cram in there!
Seriously though, if you’re looking for decent t-​shirts, and other gifts to take home that won’t break the bank, this is your place. Also really good value for foodstuffs (expect convenience store prices but not too outrageous) and beer and liquor.
Pro tip — save your receipts as they usually have some sort offer where for $ 100 in receipts you get a free gift like a mug of calendar.
Pro tip 2 — do NOT bring a stroller in here. The aisles are narrow and shoppers (like me) will get annoyed having to constantly get out of your way.
Mahalo!

One of the larger ABC Stores I encountered on Maui. The store has a nice layout and has all the items and souvenirs you’re looking for.

My boyfriend and I browsed through this store to get ideas for souvenirs. We picked up some granola, dried mangos, and dried coconut for our Road to Hana. The prices were not bad since they were similar or slightly cheaper than other stores. The nice cashier reminded us to save our receipts because you get a free gift (ie. calendar, mug, or reusable bag) when you spend $ 100. You can combine it with other location’s receipts.

Aloha brings consumers! The employes here have that aloha spirit which is great for first time tourist or repeat visitors. Ultimate convenience store that has everything you can think of from last minute souvenir to picking up things you forgot to bring on your trip. This place has good prices and a fair selection of various items. Anyone who has been to the islands appreciates this place!

This particular chain is located in the Lahaina Cannery Mall. Not sure about the reviewer who claims it has gas since it’s located in the mall and I didn’t see any gasoline island. This chain was one of the smaller ones, but had enough to keep me somewhat interested. Many other ABC chains were clearly bigger and nicer.

There’s a zillion ABC Store in Hawaii, but this particular one has gas, which is a huge plus. The main reason I’m giving this store 5-​stars is because the employees are soooo nice and kind. They gladly cleaned up a mess dropped on the floor, (ooops clumsy sometimes) and told us not to worry about it. Thanks! Your boss should give you a raise for being so awesome. Miss Ya!
