If you need something quick and easy, ABC Store makes it easy. Snacks, drinks, small gifts.Definitely a staple for tourists.

This is a great convenience store chain on almost every block along Waikiki Beach. You will find almost anything a tourist would need after checking in to your hotel. The employees are very friendly and helpful.

Great spot to stop and get anything you need. Prices are very reasonable (CA prices) compared and food items are delicious. Lots of delicious to go items, such as spam musubis, chicken teriyaki musubis, and the egg and bacon musbis. Also have many togo salads, fruits, and sandwiches for to go as well. Store is well lit, clean and organized. Lots of helpful nice employees. Recommend this location for any of you needs, from gifts, food, toiletries, and drinks.

I found everyone very friendly, my go to as we are staying at the Park Shore. We spent more time in there than anywhere else. The go to food was always fresh, the variety given was plentiful. Selection of clothes we bought for our little family was more than enough. I even found personal feminine hygiene products when a friend decided to pop in on our last day. I can't list everything we brought as there was about 6 or 7 reusable bags we recycled as gift bags for our children filled with things.

Yup, I go to every ABC store I can! I just like each one's different vibe, and this one is no different. I first look at their sunblock, then keychains, then souvenir shirts! My family will stop by when we are walking and need a little A/C break. Then we grab a drink in the refrigerated section, usually a gatorade. Hubby will get a to-go salad and bowl of fruit here every day to stay 'regular' on vacation.

Going to the ABC Stores was my number one item I wanted to do when I got back here. We are obsessed with these stores. The last time we visited one was in Vegas many years ago and we could not wait to be back! This one was very conveniently located for me, we stayed at the hotel across the street, so we did end up buying most of our last day souvenirs at this location. Plus we spent so much over the duration of our trip, mostly snacks and drinks, we got multiple "free prizes" with their promo. We got a towel, two mugs, and a tote bag. We purchases hoodies, shirts, jewelry, makeup, coffee, marinade, and of course Doraemon goodies here. My child is obsessed with Doraemon and there are not many places in the US, especially the mainland, that carry these types of items. Besides their absolutely fun and best priced souvenirs, we eat so much food and it was bomb! We cannot get enough of their musubi and sushi rolls. It was a daily purchase for snacks. So good and filling. The kids loved the Hawaiian Sun drinks and needed to get them every day. And the Uncles ice cream cookie sandwiches are perhaps the best cookie ice cream I have ever had, so fresh and creamy. I honestly would come here every year just for the food. We brought home the pineapple shortbread which was incredible and the pineapple ropes which were also amazing. I still need to try the mochi popcorn but I bet it will be delicious. My child asked the question...Is the ABC Store worth the hype? Answer....YES!!!!!

There's at least one on every block of the beachfront mall in Waikiki. They're basically the Hawaiian version of dollar stores except they're way more expensive with convenience store prices.

I love this specific ABC Store!!! The staff are always friendly :) warm greetings, offering shopping baskets (cause yenno, I be always grabbing way more than what I intended to buy when I first entered, LOL), and GREAT customer service :D They work very hard and are great at their jobs. Y'ALL NEED RAISES YO! Who's I gotta tell for y'all to get them? ;) Whenever we stay at the Marriott Resort and Spa (which is a lot, shhhhhh), this ABC location is perfect! SO THE CONVENIENTS! It's on the Kealohilani tower side of the hotel, along Kalakaua Ave. It's jam packed with awesome things. Food (hot, cold, poke bowls, musubis, snacks, candy, drinks, alcohols galore, ice cream), touristy souvenir items (gifts to bring back home: shirts, mugs, calendars, bags, slippers, shot glasses, magnets, bottle openers, pineapple cake, macadamia nut), convenience items (toothbrush, bandaids, medicine, makeup), beach stuff (floaties, towels, mats, bags, dresses, sunscreen, coconut water) and just sooo much things! LOVE THAT *heart emojis* They also offer gifts after making enough purchases starting at $100 and more. I got a cute sturdy reusable shopping bag to put things in from that. Some items might be a bit pricier, but yenno, cause Waikiki brah. The store hours are long and definitely come in clutch for those late night runs to fetch alcohol, gatorade, water, or food! Spotlight on the spicy ahi poke bowls here. I will say it is definitely better than a place dedicated to poke bowls along Kuhio Ave. These spicy ahi poke bowls fill my heart with so much love (UWU). Delicious! Affordable! And, and... my stomach is fine after eating them! No stomach problems (ahem, yenno "da kine") after eating them (unlike some other expensive sushi place I got a whole darn sushi platter from on NYE 2022 *EYEROLL*) If you folks are in Waikiki & hungry or want to try spicy ahi poke, this is the place brah.

100s of visits to ABC Stores and I never wrote a review. What? It's time! Yes, some things are more expensive but you can not put a price in convenience. before I get to the details if what they carry, let me tell you the best item they carry: 1.5 liter bottles of iced cold water for just $1.19. That, my friends, is a bargain! Most places charge a buck for 16.8 ounces. Over the 10 days, I'm drinking at least 15 of these! No need to stock my condo as I can pick one up in the way to and from the beach. Now to the details. ABC stores are one stop shopping and located on every block. They are clean, well stocked and the AC is cranking! For all of your beach days stop here for cold beverages, snacks, sandwiches, hats, beach towels, sunscreen and lip balm. No need to pack a cooler, just walk across the street! Sushi, shrimp cocktail, delicious cold salads, wraps, sandwiches, spam masubi, noodles, cut up fruit, whole fruit, ice cream - it's there. Chips, cookies, pretzels, popcorn, crackers, cheese. Everything. Plus you can buy wine, beer, and alcohol here in all size bottles. They have all the Hawaiian gift items and they are priced the same, if not better, than at the fancier stores. Macadamia nuts, Hawaiian chocolate covered macadamia nut clusters, key chains, magnets, wooden bowls and trays, sea turtle and hula dancer everything. Tote bags, zippered pouches, cross body bags and fanny packs. And clothing, too! T-shirts, sweatshirts, Hawaiian print dresses and shirts. Hawaiian print bags and beach towels. Usually I buy the water, salads and snacks but in this visit to Oahu, I picked up two square wooden trays made from Monkey wood with a plumeria stamped in the middle to use as charcuterie boards. Picked up wooden bowls in several sizes for olives and nuts. Can not wait to use them! Now, I wouldn't do a stock up my condo for the week thing here. That is for Target or Costco (cheaper than Safeway) but for the on the go items, absolutely.

One of my favorite ABC stores. This location still has the same quality I remember from when I visited as a kid that other stores lack an ambiance in

On just about every corner you can find an ABC. They have a little bit of everything, that's great when you pack last minute....or run out of stuff.Things in Hawaii are rather expensive but, the quality is good. We also had some watermelon ?slices, to be honest they were really,really tasty.

They have a lot of stuff and it's really expensive compared to target. But it's convenient, so we definitely bought a few things such as chips and water. The prepackaged food goes on sale towards the night but it's pretty salty and staleish. I didn't like the teriyaki musubi or the Kim chi fried rice but it looked good when I bought it lollllllll. The spam musubi was sub par. Update: came back for q tips for 1.99. Target had the same pack for .99 lol Update 2: didn't realize how much good souvenirs they had - definitely recommend buying the shot glasses with the engravings for a clean and classy present for your friends. Overall the staff is generally nice and will help you look for things! Great service for a very dense concentrated area.

ABC STORES: these stores are available everywhere! It's worth mentioning that you can get a quick grab of tasty spam musubi for under $3 at this convenience store. Flavored with unagi sauce and furikake seasoning (seaweed flakes and sesame seeds) with layers of steamed rice , eggs, & spam enveloped in nori wrap.

Nice stores, friendly staff, prices mostly seem reasonable (get macadamia chocolates at the swap meet instead if you're going there). I enjoyed a number of musubi varieties here. Everyone told me to get 7-11 musubi, but I found ABC's to be better. Yummy and cheap sushi roll options as well. Great place to start the day.
