“Nice in and out with fuel. They emwrre closely located to the airport which is where I returned the rental car. The convenient location drew me in because I was assured the rental car would still be full with fuel when I returned it. While I found it convenient, I then found it a great place to stop and get a drink and a few snacks. The selection was complete. Their coffee was hot and the snack selection was complete. I had a few snacks for my flight ✈️”

“Part of the tourist experience if you hail from the Midwest is visiting a local 7-11. For those of you who are local, 7-11s in the American Midwest ( between the East and West Coast, the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, big post-industrial cities and disappearing farmland) where 7-11s are place of horrendous coffee, insulting service, dirty public restrooms, and botulism. But 7-11s in Hawai'i have fresh coffee, friendly service, and awesome local taste snack foods. Some of the best Spam Musubi is found in Hawai'ian 7-Elevens. It's like they are not even the same corporation. Still open all the time. Instead of the "I'll help who's next in line," and "have a nice rest of your day," the woman working here actually talked to me like I'm a human being albeit in local Pidgin (which made it seem even friendlier). Mahalo!”

“I love the CVS pharmacists at Hilo Target. They are not only accurate, informed, and polite, but they also will go out of their way to help the customer in any way they can. Despite being very busy, they’ve never seemed too rushed to answer any questions or concerns that I may have. I’m old and need a lot of medicine. Despite a Long’s closer to my home I’ll always choose this pharmacy.”

“If you've been to one 7-11, basically you've seen them all. They are all set up the same way with the same products. This, of course, is by design. The only difference I've experienced is with the employees. Different personalities and level of service. I've always gotten excellent service, never had any problems, and they always thank me for my business”

“I’ve grown up with Meadow Gold milk. Despite the sale (and imminent closure) of the dairy’s properties on Sheridan Street in Honolulu, I hope it will continue to be sold in Hawaii.

“Review is for car was only. This place beats out Lex brodies car wash 1000x as far as cost and actually cleaning the car. The brushes actually scrub my sedan. Prices as of Jan 2025 are 14,16, & 18. Far better than the other guys. Still not perfect, but best in Hilo bar none for auto wash.”

“The only 24-hour Longs Drugs in Hilo. For almost a week staying in this side of the island we've come here almost every night not because we really need something but sometimes we created reasons to just come here because most of the staffs were so friendly! They helped us in our queries and patiently lead us to specific aisle for the things That we need to buy. Just like other LD this store almost has all the things you need for emergency. Just when I needed liners, lip sunscreen protection, cup noodles, pain reliever, late snacks, bottled juice drink, alkaline water and etc. Almost every night we come home at the hotel around 10pm and there are chances that restaurants are close and we ended up buying food here to save us for the night. If you're in or around Hilo and need something in the middle of the night, consider looking for this specific location and sure thing you can rely Longs Drugs. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!”
