ABC Stores

It’s got everything you need. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS. We were informed once you’ve accumulated $ 100 worth of purchases you get a prize.

Store is located below the Marriott Resort and Spa in Kalakua Ave, Waikiki.
They have everything you need from souvenirs to snacks.
Staff are very courteous and very helpful.

I wish we had stores like this in socal, well actually we do, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens. But for a touristy place they are fantastic. I did notice that the quality of the store increased the farther you got away from waikiki. more food, better merchandise. Also if you want any merchandise after you get home, just order the catalog and you can buy anything you saw in the store while you were there.

good store but located in central downtown so parking is quite challenging. otherwise, tourist can find pretty much everything such as prepacked snacks, coffee, souvenirs, chocolates, beach stuff. staff were very approachable.

ABC Stores is located in almost every nook and alley of Oahu. In fact, one need not look beyond ABC Stores while shopping in Hawaii. They carry almost everything you need to stock up on during the trip. Its also a good place to purchase gifts. They have an impressive selection of perfumes, chocolates, clothes, sandals, groceries, beach wear and just so much more.
They also offer you a token gift after you have run up a certain amount in purchase.
Prices are affordable and the best part is that if you forgot to get something at this store, there is one just like it right around the corner. For produce and groceries, try the ABC Superette.

There’s 37 of these in this area. Wth. ABC. Aloha Bring Cash. They have everything but the whip cream.. Lol

Definitely one of my FAVORITE things about being in Hawaii! ABC stores are everywhere, they are awesome place to shop! Love it…

Love all the ABC Stores and they all seem to be a little different. They always seem to have what you need too. Don’t forget to keep your receipts for a special gift… I always forget. Anyway, nice to know these stores are everywhere in case you forget something!

WoW! So convenient! One time I got complimented on my pineapple, then this other time I got complimented on my shirt. They keep complimenting me! Be sure to look for the employee named «Pansy,» she’s a real gem. I love ABC Stores!

ABC Stores dominate Waikiki. It carries everything from gifts to grocery. I’m able to find almost anything that I need here.
Prices are reasonable. Quality is there. Selections are plenty.

I went in at least half dozen, if not more, ABC in twenty blocks. They all sell the same things, from daily needs to beech party needs. I love the concept and it’s not bad place to buy souvenir.
This is in the marriott, and have to say the shop kippers are hovering over customers too much, almost in sense that they want to tell customers that we are being watched…

i LOVE ABC Stores since I first stepped into one on my trip to Maui many moons ago. It’s the perfect Hawaiian one-​stop shop when you’re in a hurry. And the fact that there was one inside my hotel (Waikiki Beach Marriott), close to the tower I was staying in was an added bonus. Granted there is an ABC Store on every block along Kalakaua & Kuhio but I liked mine. Haha…
I bought souvenirs, snacks, postcards, chocolate macadamia treats, my Hawaii water bottles for the room, beach towels to take home, spam musubis (different kine and they were warm) and most importantly my ABC Stores logo t-​shirt. I collect them and have every color. I found one that I’ve never seen before so I was super stoked on it. It just goes to show that the ABC Store inside Waikiki Beach Marriott aka my ABC Store was hands down the best… No Ka Oi.
They literally have everything you could possibly need… Even an emergency carry-​on luggage to store all the stuff you bought from ABC. Staff was always cheery and willing to help you find what you need… Cheee!!!

You know the cliché that there is one on every block. Well, in Waikiki, it ain’t a cliché. There is an ABC on every block. In fact, this one is inside the Waikiki Marriott. The big difference from this store than the others, it is small and it isn’t ²⁴⁄₇. Shucks. If you are a guest at this hotel, then you will love it for its convenience on location only. It has most of your tourist needs as well.

Marriott ABC Y U NO HAVE FRESH LEI?!
I was kind of surprised that they didn’t carry fresh leis here, I thought they had everything a tourist heart desires!
Long story short, I failed at picking up a lei prior to the UHM fashion show this past weekend, was hoping that Waikiki would have some, ABC was my last resort… no fresh lei, BUT a bunch of your $ 0.99 fake flower leis did just fine. My friend was happy and exclaimed, «these will last forever!» So, I guess I owe you many mahalo’s ABC Store for coming to my rescue (even though it wasn’t what I was really looking for) :)

P. S. — GREAT selection of Island Girl nail polish, I had to have my friends hold me back from looking! Also for some reason I love purchasing bottled water from here… haha

Well this tourist loves this tourist store! Everything Hawaiian that could be considered a souvenir is located under this roof. I am all about convenience, so when it came down to last minute shopping, ABC store was here to save the day!

This go to convenience store was a bit overpriced but carried almost anything you might need. Even earrings, bananas, and Twizzlers!
As I said, it was expensive, but that was true of most tourist traps on Waikiki. The more unhealthy the snack, the cheaper it was (true in most cases) so I felt sluggish after noshing from the ABC store, but that’s my fault, not theirs.
Then again, if you’re going to Waikiki, a) you’re probably a tourist and b) you are probably ready to drop some scrilla (money)…so this smorgasboard of «stuff» may fill all of your needs in one stop. I found that I couldn’t part with $ 2 – 3 for a banana. I mean, come on, people!

In one of the first reviews I read of our hotel there was mention that an ABC convenience store was connected to it. Little did I know that I would be stopping in there one or two times a day. It was probably no big deal that there was one connected to our hotel because there were 3 ABC stores with a block from the hotel and 52 stores in Honolulu.
I had never stepped foot in an ABC store before I was in Hawaii and we got to be close friends during my week stay on Waikiki Beach. For whatever reason we always needed something. Either it was bottled water, wine, cheese, crackers or some after suntan lotion and to the ABC store we went. It got to be a rerun after awhile and almost humorous. The best thing is they had everything we needed (with the exception of a few small items we purchased at the grocery store).
During your stay be sure to save your receipts. They give out a few gift for specific dollar amounts. We were able to collect our free mug as a souvenir before we left.

Crap for sale, cheap crap for sale! — But seriously, they’ve got a lot of it and it’s a good place for your last minute gifts for co-​workers. One of our favorite games to play on Waikiki has become «see how many ABC stores we can see from one spot»…our current record is 5.
Go in, check it out, get a key chain and some macadamia nuts and you’re set.

They are are literally located every block. I kept wondering if they even realize that they are competing with each other. It’s worse that starbucks because you will encounter one every 100 ft. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating… or am I!!! LOL HAHAHA
You can find everything here from souvenirs (t-​shirts, shot glasses, the iconic chocolate covered macadamia nut candy, etc.) to the stuff you might’ve forgotten to pack like toothbrushes, band-​aids, etc. No complaints because at least you’ll never have to go far. LOL :)

When Mrs H and I get ready for a week’s stay at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa’s Kealohilani Tower I try to pack enough stuff. But there are always a few things I need.

Mrs H: ABC Stores downstairs.
Kit: Honey-​buns? How’s about a romantic stroll in Kuhio Beach Park?
Mrs H: We have to stroll through the ABC Stores downstairs.
Kit: Luscious-​lips? How’s about a bottle of Beringer to toast the end of a wonderful week in Waikiki?
Mrs H: MORON, YOU KNOW WHERE TO FRACKIN’ GET IT BY NOW!!!
It’s not uncommon for me to blow over 300 ducets at this particular ABC Stores.
So. What do I remember most about our outings on O‘ahu?
ABC Stores.
Downstairs.
PS: there’s another ABC Stores in Marriott’s Pao‘akalani Tower as well. Because as anyone who’s been to Waikiki knows, you can never have enough ABC Stores.
