Pearl Highlands Center

On Wednesday May 27, 2015 after spending the day with my mother I decided to take a stroll to Pearl Highlands Center. It’s a good thing this shopping center is within walking distance to my mom’s apartment.
There’s a lot of business establishments here at the Pearl Highlands Center.
Sam’s Club — for individuals who love to buy in bulks whether it is office supplies or groceries. Computer equipment can be purchased here as well as other items that a person may want to purchase.
24 Hour Fitness — for individuals who want to get in shape. Check with your employer for discounts in enrolling at 24 Hour Fitness.
Regal Theaters — for individuals who want to watch movies.
Life Touch Portraits — Photography studio. I remember getting my high school photos from Life Touch Portraits.
Verizon Wireless — «Can you here me now?» Cellphones and accessories. Which reminds me I need to upgrade my cellphone soon.
Ross Dress for Less — Clothing for men, women, children, and pets can be found here. There are other items that a person can purchase from this store.
Ming’s Canton Food — Chinese takeout
Dairy Queen/​Orange Julius — ice cream and hot dogs
L & G Local Food — local plate lunches
Sumo Ramen & Curry — a person can choose between a ramen bowl or curry. Wow I had no idea there are 5 locations of Sumo Ramen & Curry. I’m gonna have to bookmark this place to add to my ramen list.
There are other business establishments at the Pearl Highlands Center that I can’t remember at the moment. Someday I’ll explore the entire shopping center.

This place is usually crowded on the weekends but this weekend it wasn’t too bad. Love Ross it has great deals and name brands. I found MK belts, bags, and clothes, what a good deal. So cheap. Love it.

At first I thought that Pearl Highlands Center only had one floor. I had arrived on the top floor and saw a multiplex theater, a food court, and a bunch of stores. I did not know that the businesses on the lower levels were there too.
On the second floor, 24 hour fitness can be found on the left side. On the first floor there is Sam’s Club on the right side. It is an interesting set up and it takes a little driving to get yourself familiar with the layout. There are signs to help guide you.
Parking is tough during peak hours, but you can usually find a stall if you don’t mind walking a little bit. Although the layout is peculiar with entrances and exits appearing on different floors depending on which side of the center you are on, it works. I’m a fan.

Great place to shop & eat, especially with Sams Club downstairs. What I dislike is eating in the food court and it’s only 8pm and the cleaners start mopping and moving around the tables. Talk about losing your appetite while smelling whatever solution they use and then the fear of my kids slipping because the floor is wet. Hazardous if you ask me. Calling the management office tomorrow morning.

There’s always something knew going on at pearl highlands center. Before it’s most recent remodel the pearl highlands regal theater brought in most of the business for the upstairs portion of the center.
Throughout the years (after Sams club and Regal theater) stores have opened up and closed down. Three stores I remember are Picture Plus, Craft Supply and Comp USA. Now, they are 24 hour fitness and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Since the opening of both new additions, the pearl highlands center has been busier then ever. You can do some paper work at kinkos and get your teeth cleaned at the dentist right next door. Or have a good work out then go out for wings and beer after… great combo.
Despite the hint of sarcasm, the place is better then before. You’ve got a ton of places to go. It’s a great way to just kill time.
Also, I just wanted to add: the security guards who work here may be the best security guards I’ve ever seen. I always see them walking around, doing something, I’ve never seen any of them sit down.
I grew up about 5 – 10 minutes from pearl highlands center and I’m glad to see it getting better.
Sometimes…change is good B-)

Awesome shopping for the family. Honolua outlet is half off the entire store then there’s a Ross! And to top it off there’s a gym and food court. The Thai Food
Is good considering its a plate lunch thing. Highly recommend!

I go to the 24 Hour Fitness downstairs so when I need to buy something from Ross or whatever I just go upstairs and find what I need. It’s just convenient because I’m already there. They don’t have the best selection of stores but they do have Price Buster’s, Jeans Warehouse, Payless, Ross, Verizon, T-​Mobile, Gamestop, Buffalo Wild Wings, a small foodcourt, and the theater. It ain’t the best but it’s there.

Always crowded, small stalls, good stores to shop and look. Food court’s good and Regal theatres located in far corner.

When I used to live in the high rise right behind Pier 1 and Ross… that’s when I realized how truly awesome Pearl Highlands Center is. I literally barely had to go in town. I mean, come on… what else do you really need?
There’s a 24 hr fitness, Ross, Regal Theaters, nail salon, Fed ex, portrait studio, verizon, food court, sam’s club, pier 1, jeans warehouse, payless shoesource, pictures plus, price busters, craft supply, honolulu surf, america’s mattress, game stop, t-​mobile, dental care, aaron’s & ken’s cleaners.
The ones I mainly go to are Regal Theaters, Ross, 24 hour fitness, Fed Ex, Jeans Warehouse, Price Busters, Dental, and Ross. This really beats out A BUNCH of the shopping and errands I do since these are places I go to on a regular basis. This place is pretty cool too. The place gets crowded but I always find parking.

for the Pricebusters LOVE the Prl Highlands branch as well as Kapolei — the staff is VERY helpful and friendly — we are now hooked as we found out that they now sell furniture — and it IS a STEAL — when they first sold furniture — prices were under $ 100 — and now even tho its raised it is STILL a bargain — couches which convert to a bed/​$ 200. and we got a table — trestle table w/​two bench seats — top was a marble type with heat resistant — top — and it looks great _​_​
the furniture comes from a company called Sauder — if you see it — and it is a good price BUY IT — things just whiz out the door _​
they also have Pier one imports — some shoe stores — Ross’ — pretty good — stuff … food court is ok — need to have more seating —

We went in for browsing and came out with a fondue machine. The staff is AMAZING as each and every one greeted my mom, aunty and myself. Not only did they say the usual «Hi welcome.» They took the time to walk us around the store explaining what each product was, what their sale items were and gladly introduced us to the «fondue» machine. Although their items are a bit pricey, I will gladly go back to buy furniture once I get my place just because I think their service is work the money!

Primarily come here to get something to eat at the food court, or to shop at Sam’s, Price Buster’s, visit FedEx Kinkos, or see a movie. Parking here can be pretty crazy and the stalls are on the smallish side. Facilities also aren’t kept in that aren’t kept as clean or even as well maintained as they could be.

I like this center! My Mom LOOOOOOOVES Ross and hey, I have to admit, I do too! Name brand items at discount prices… and I loooove checking out the puppies at the pet store… oh so adorable! We also go to GameStop for the Xbox games, and Pricebusters for little cheap things we need. The food court has a decent variety of foods… I personally like the Cantonese place… the noodles, minute chicken, and pork with long green beans is the best! And if you still have room you can grab an ice cream cone from Dairy Queen afterwards. I don’t personally care for Regal Theaters (I heart Mililani or Ward Consolidated)… but it has just enough to not bore ya. Oh and Sam’s Club and 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport is downstairs! Other stores include Kinko’s, Payless Shoes, Queen’s Nails, Pier 1 Imports, a piano store, and Jeans Warehouse.

I rarely frequent this shopping complex and find it rather boring when I do go. Parking is okay, but the complex gets very busy. Sam’s Club, Ross, Pier 1, Regal Theaters, FedEx, Gamestop, Jeans Warehouse, Payless, Pricebusters, Pet Spot, and food court located here.

I don’t know why the below reviews are hating but this place is actually pretty good if you think about it. Regal theatres are aight. There’s the 24 hour fitness and Sam’s Club. The food court has a pretty good selection of eateries, from local food to desserts. There’s some pretty good shops like Gamestop, Ross, Pricebusters, Payless, Pet Shop, Kinkos/​FedEx, etc. Sometimes I remember they have events near the food court like local bands playing and some other community function related activity. The parking area is hecka huge so there’s choke parking most of the time. You can also park downstairs at the Sam’s Club levels. This place can get a little rough during the holiday season though. Overall it is a decent shopping area and I frequent here a lot. It’s also right below Walmart and stuff so it’s really a convenient shopping area especially for Pearl City residents.

Out of all the malls in Hawaii, this must be my least favorite. Unless you’re coming to Sam’s or Ross, there is really no reason to come here. Everything else you can find elsewhere or isn’t worth going.

This place isn’t that horrible. It has a Ross, Pier 1, Regal Theaters, a nail salon owned by my former student’s family, and I believe a FedEx like shop where I got my passport picture taken for my 2008 trip to China. I probably come to this little mall four times in a given month. There are always surprises at Ross, Pier 1 accepts their credit card payments in-​store, and Regal Theaters has a frequent purchaser card. The movie theater also has free posters at their table, to the right of the entrance doors. Parking is also free on both levels.

I avoid coming here like the neighborhood fat kid should avoid bullies. There isn’t anything significant in this mall anymore. Wait, was there EVER anything significant in this mall? The theater is so ghetto, the food court’s ‘variety’ isn’t anything I couldn’t get somewhere else, there isn’t an Ultrazone there anymore, and 24 Hour Fitness? Does it look like I work out? Pshaa.
Very passable. I only come when here when I really need something and I don’t have enough gas to go Ala Moana.
