“This is hands down my favorite Crazy Shirts location. Love the employees they all are so much fun. This place just makes you happy when you walk in. Thank for always being so friendly and helpful.”
“This is a shop where the staff and the atmosphere are both relaxing and relaxing. Although the T-shirt is thin, it doesn't fuzz easily, the back side is sewn so it doesn't get rough, and it's relatively inexpensive. L and XL sizes are quite rare both online and in physical stores, so I went to a Nimitz store as well.”
“We stopped here for coffee and honestly to waste some time after our shark snorkel and before the food trucks opened tbh. This shopping center is cute and relaxing and feels a bit of old Hawai’i. We were window shopping and my friend pointed out a jellyfish shirt. The shirts in the window def caught my eye. The style is classic and tasteful in a way I really can’t describe. ? The sales woman made me feel like a friend and I wish I had gotten her name! I have been very indecisive lol but what I thought I liked -the dark jellyfish print - once I tried it on it was not me , but they have an alternate blue colored but same jellyfish pattern. That color was more me! This may be a long story but buying local has a much better feel than a box store. I felt like she valued me as a customer. She asked if I wanted a fresh shirt that has never been tried on which might not seem a big deal but it it kind of is in the context of a conversation I was having in the store ❤️ I didn’t plan on making a purchase when we stopped here but I’m glad we did? Support local, Honor Hawai’i, Respect PeopleThank you for the gift of this shirt. I will honour it and support the heritage of the islands.“Sea Fantasy” is the name of the shirt”

“Great shopping. Little expensive but nice items. Poor check out procedures. Ladies asked everyone if they want to join star awards. Then go on to explain the whole thing. Long line but they didn't care.3 to 8 minutes each person. Sounds like a short time but when you just want to pay and leave...it's forever.”

“Especially with the many Native Hawaiians, living in diaspora, due to rising costs of housing and living, we have many opportunities to not just support local businesses but to support Native Hawaiian businesses. Homegrown offers a venue for supporting many Native Hawaiian businesses who many not have the start up ability to establish their own shop. Easy one stop shop for lots of different authentic Hawaiian gifts, household needs, clothes, accessories. While all of these separate businesses may have their own website, Homegrown allows you the opportunity to see these items up close and try on clothes before purchase. Since most of these businesses are not just Native Hawaiian but also offer items made in Hawaii, rather than outsourcing, some items may cost more than the average but I find that they're still reasonable.”

“I just moved away from Hawaii and my all time favorite TJ Maxx was this one. It was my daily routine to go after a stressful day at work and shop, everyone there was so nice and would also start conversations with me and the store is big with a lot of items to choose from”
“I like coming here because you never know what you’re going to find. I come here liking for one thing and come out getting more. They have all kinds of pop culture shirts, apparel, Wicked, Disney, collector’s items, keychains, etc. Anytime I need some kind of item for a movie release you sure can find fan apparel items here. I recommend this place to anyone!”
“Classic AN in a great spot on North Shore- was a little bummed they didn't have more North Shore gear in stock (I know it's the holidays and surf tourney season so I know it's high demand and I'll just order).”
“Great selection and always have something you like!
It's hard to go in here and not get lost in the selection. They also have a suggestions list, If you don't see anything you like , add it to the list, and you can come back in a few weeks, and it will be there!”
“I came into the shop looking for some new clothes and I was assisted by two great employees Carlos and Jener! They both made me feel welcomed and they were both knowledgeable about their products and accommodating to my needs. Very friendly and great customer service as well! I was very impressed by how they took care of me, as I have no fashion sense at all, and wanted to share my experience and sentiment about them! Absolutely a wonderful experience! Would definitely come back to them to help me pick up more things the next time I'm in the store again!”
“Nothing but good compliments in every area of your store, but one that stands out the most is your employer named Missy Please see to it you honor your employer for excellent and patient service towards customers. She is such a kind soul and took her time with me. She made me feel comfortable and was willing to go the extra mile in helping me choose the best selection. I value her service and am thankful to have come across a wonderful person like her. Thank you very much Missy”
“Boy, did we have fun shopping here! I'm not as shoe crazy as my spouse, so I only got one pair unlike his four, I think it was?
EXPERIENCE:
This store is located in the Waikele Premium Outlets in a medium-sized spot in the mall's west end. Parking is horrendous. The shop was neat and organized, with shoe samples on display and the inventory stacked on shelves right behind the display. It's mainly a self-serve kind of operation but an abundant amount of staff buzz around offering assistance.
Vans has a nice selection of men's shoes in a variety of colors and patterns, but the only thing that irks me is their label that's glued onto the back of the soles that aren't even flat but protrude up on one side due to a bump in the design. I picked up a low top in ash gray with accents of black plaid and cement gray soles. And on top of that, everything in the store was BOGO half-off. Every single item! We saved bookoo bucks! And for the record, don't think their products are defective or irregular because it's an outlet store; there's nothing wrong with them.
The workers were all very friendly and helpful; so unlike what I'm accustomed to on Maui where you get no acknowledgment or assistance. The female cashier who assisted us was terrific too and very patient as she walked us over to where the shoe laces were and assisted us instead of just pointing them out.
OVERALL:
We found such great deals here and at other stores in Waikele, so they're definitely on our must-do list when visiting Oahu. My shoe size wasn't available in some styles which is the only reason this review isn't a 5-star.”
“Nice shop. Great customer service! The guy working shared Hawaiian culture with my husband. It was great to talk with someone who knew about the culture. Mahalo”
“I was looking for a plain white t-shirt (kids size) and found it!! It was on sale too!! I didn't realize a plain white shirt was so hard to find! Very neat and staff was nice and friendly. Lots of sizes available! Lots of parking too!”
“I submitted my online order at 2am, it was out for delivery by 10am that morning. Last minute Christmas shopping online hoping it would get here in time for Christmas . Quick and efficiently processed my order.”
“I am so impressed with the customer service at this location. All of the workers are polite, friendly, helpful and all around good people- especially impressed because they are all so young. The store itself is clean and neat with a wide selection. They also offer different sale items each time we go. This is absolutely one of our favorite places to shop at!”
“CheapThe basic price is cheap too.If you download the Simon app and specify Waikele, you will receive a coupon.Additional discount availableIf you go at opening time, you will get great deals.”

“Located inside the Hukilau Marketplace along Kamehameha Hwy in Laie. It is adjacent to the Polynesian Cultural Centre. Amongst other stores in Hukilau Marketplace we frequented shopping at Nona’s. I found my second pair of Olukai shoes, clothing & other items to take home. Many of the items are of good quality which reflect the higher price compared to the other stores. Staff are professional and courteous. It was an enjoyable experience. I even got a Kamaaina discount one day.”
“I have been in the Waikele Gap many times. Each time, I engage a little small talk with several different workers there, and every time I find each one of them to be friendly, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and competent/professional, whether the person is younger or older. The clothes themselves seem to be made of high quality materials. The appearance of the clothing items there seems nice as well, and the sale prices are incredibly low, so low that it makes you feel a little guilty for buying such nice items for so little money. Please share my review with your workers at the store, so that they can know that their kindness means more to some people than they probably thought.”
“CK is one of my fave designers. Their pants fit perfectly on me and the prices here can't be beat. The shirt offerings are hit and miss. Selection is overall very good, as is the service.”
“I recently visited Zumiez at Waikele and had a great experience. The salesperson was not only knowledgeable about the products but also super helpful in guiding me through my options. What really stood out was how fun they were to talk to, making the shopping experience feel easy and enjoyable. I would definitely come back again for both the great service and the cool selection of items.”
“Went on 26 DEC for after Christmas shopping. The last time I was here was about 6 years ago and what I will say is the store is vastly improved since 6 years ago. Preciously, the store was in complete disarray with piles of unfolded clothes on tables and clothes half hanging off hangers. The store on 26 DEC 2023 was very neatly organized with everything in neat order.”
“Great customer service. I called ahead of time to see if they had a dress in stock that I saw online. The person I spoke to on the phone was nice and I appreciated her taking the time to find the dress in various sizes and she even found different colors and put them on hold. This location is compact but there is a lot of inventory, especially jeans! Packed full of discounted jeans that aren't on the site! Your girl got 3 pant sizes thickerrrr and I refuse to pay much for jeans. I got a couple pairs for only $20 each. The person who helped me at the register even gave me $20 off while I was contemplating on purchasing a shirt or not at the register after finding out it cost more than I thought lol.”
“(Translated by Google) Although there are many types, there are many items that do not have a size because of the outlet. However, when I visited the store on November 1st, long boots were sold for $ 150, and I was surprised that it was about 30% of Japan.”
“Delicious shakes and shave ice. Kind staff. Cool merch (if you don't understand it I don't recommend getting it but it's still awesome), I want to try their other snacks.FYI they don't have no sugar syrup anymore (manufacturer stopped making it). This wasn't an issue for us but was for a later customer.”
