“I had a project awhile back that Danny worked on and I can’t say enough about him!! Working with him was easy and the workmanship was 5 stars! Take a ticket this young man is busy and you’d be lucky to have him produce a piece for you.”
“Coco Nene is a must-visit shop at Kahala Mall. Natalia is exceptional and honestly the reason my shopping experience was as wonderful as it was. We customized their Longboard Letters for our family, and it’s already become such a meaningful keepsake that will grow with us through the years. I’m already planning to come back to make a custom surfboard sign for my son’s birthday party. The quality is beautiful, and their pieces instantly give your home that island feel. Definitely worth making this shop a stop! You'll find gifts (or treasures for yourself) you actually can’t get anywhere else.”
“Jonna was an absolutely amazing figure. She deserves the biggest raise of the year. She helped me design and create a beautiful masterpiece for the person who is pet sitting for me and it totally became a Hawaiii experience. She is so sweet and caring and kind and you can tell how much she absolutely loves her job.”
“Such a fun store to pick up some local art, or make your own souvenirs. There’s picture frames, stands, and surfboards you can customize with different Hawaiian symbols. I loved the stationary and the brightly colored Christmas ornaments. We made a surfboard with items that reminded us of our trip. It’s the perfect way to remember what we did. Definitely stop in to get a unique gift for yourself or someone else.”
“Huge thanks to Lani Sakata for helping me purchase a product remotely! I really appreciate her excellent service, especially while helping other customers during a busy holiday weekend.”
“I’m so lucky to have found this store and I’m jealous if you haven’t been and get to go for the first time! Great place to get gifts or to treat yo self - stationary heaven - and the folks here are extremely helpful and kind.”
“Came to buy a dining room table and chairs for 10 people. Not many places has a table that will fit. Tai from home world helped us. She was so nice and helpful and helped us get an additional discount for July 4th holiday shopping.”
“Amazing place beautiful Comfortable they make you feel at home very friendly ? Tommy was our sales assistant. He was incredible, very nice, very honest. Very friendly. awesome person. Thank you guys very much.We really appreciate your service Thanks a lot.”
“Hidden gem in Honolulu, no high pressure sales. Got to talk story with Bob a bit and he answered a ton of questions about the products available. Wonderful buying experience. Great, high quality hardwood products, hard to find on island for this price.”
“Check out their website for their next fair! They had one at the Ala Moana shopping center parking lot. Tons of beautiful actually hand made in Hawaii things! Jewelry, sustainable recycled goods, planter covers, beach clothing, resin Art home goods, pet related, tea blends…The vendors and aloha home market people were really friendly and down to earth, and not at all pushy.”
“Incredible gem in Kailua. A vast collection of handcarved artifacts from small to giant (and very affordable to the high-end). Jerome, the owner, is amazing and the whole operation is such a labor of love. You all need to add this to your list of must-visit places in Kailua or just Oahu in general.”
“Beautiful, high quality pieces, amazing customer service, and good prices! We stopped by today and were pleasantly surprised by their extensive selection. Saehee and Albert were helpful and lovely. We left with Nepalese and New Zealand wool/silk rugs that we are very excited about. Will buy again in the future!! Thank you!”
“I had a delightful visit at Lauren Rothʻs gallery yesterday. I met Laurenʻs husband John, who was assisting customers and was very gracious to me. I was completely elevated by some fabulous original paintings that Lauren had made. I found that the shop has a nice mixture of affordable and very practical things, including Jana Lam‘s planters that are hand screened with beautiful artwork, stickers, and the fab lei vases of Hawaiian Lei Vases by Ashley fame, alongside Laurenʻs original paintings. This place needs 10 stars. And I am pretty picky. I see a lot of work out there in the world of commerce that I personally fail to appreciate. Some of it hurts my eyes. Some of it hurts my heart. Laurenʻs work lifted my vibe and elevated my whole ea. And then I saw my friendsʻ work, of which I am a fan, priced reasonably. This is a well-curated collection of creative, original hand-made-in-Hawaiʻi work where it is hard not to find something to love. I mean, you really have to work at it. Lucky you who have yet to discover Lauren Roth Art!”
“Beautiful ornaments, et cetera for Christmas gift gifts some of them can be personalised! All your items are wrapped and boxed professionally free for travel if you ask!”
“We love visiting Magnolia Boutique & Gallery at Kahala Mall as they offer the most beautiful treasures made by local artists. Whether looking for a gift for my friends and clients, or perhaps something special for ourselves, we always check here first! Maggie and her team are top notch and their customer service is the best! They can also ship items to the mainland for you, which they just did for us. Thank you, Maggie and Team!”
“What an adorable quaint place to visit. This little gem is filled with all sorts of finds for all likes. I walked out with a Pāpale ?, a few Japanese Caya and stickers. Well worth the visit.”
“Pros: great little store! Awesome products that can be personalized, and even shipped all over. Cons: tight spaces with fragile things, a lot of the prices are almost confusing by time you do the add ons for the ornaments Overall: great spot, great niche market on the island, worth going to for sure”
“This place is hella cute, has lots of cool local artisan made stuff like candles, jewelry, puzzles, etc. There's a lil clearance section too if you're bargain hunting. Would be great for gifts. I bought a couple stickers, native flora and fauna. They also had free pride stickers, patches, and flags for pride month. Friendly service and clean cute place. Definitely recommend visiting. It's tucked away in the parking lot by the Himalayan restaurant entry.”
“What a wonderful spot! They host a variety of art and cultural classes in the back. There’s a coffee bar. There are several little shops within a shop, and everything is unique and beautifully presented.”
“I was really impressed with the store. They have a well-curated selection of products. I found myself noticing things and realizing I needed exactly that thing in my kitchen, like a wooden citrus reamer. The service was terrific and very kind! A lovely shop :-)”
“Great customer service. I came in for a singing bowl and the owner spent time to teach me how to properly use it. Fun store for crystals, incense, singing bowls, essential oils, and clothes. We will be back. Thank you!!”
“I walked in by accident after seeing a dining table on the design floor. I was VERY impressed with their professionalism. They returned calls, did the research and worked with me. I did purchase the table off the floor, and look forward to working with them in the future.”
“I have not been shopping at The Refinery in a hot minute but after my recent visit I will definitely be popping in more often. I forgot how much I loved all the different products in the shop as well as the Awesome sales associates. It is so fun to rediscover hidden treasures.”
“It is cute here and I think for the right person this is a cool spot to shop. Me personally I just enjoy walking in to see how colorful and cute everything is lol. I'm not too big on oshi culture but I do see people carrying around characters and dressing them up so okay go off. The selfie mirror was cute and I know they do events here sometimes. Interior is very cute and I didn't know they had a gacha machine here. They had little clothes you can put on dolls but it looks like you could fit those on a Labubu keychain or idk Miffy or Chiikawa idk LOL.”
“Absolutely love this place, it always has unique and gorgeous items for a really good price, if you like to shop local and one of a kind, this is the place for you”
“Place offers everything you need for a thoughtfully curated home. The featured collections are hand-selected with a sharp eye for quality & cutting edge island trends. You’ll find pieces that strike a good balance between aesthetics and affordability. Hospitality is a gift that every member of their team possesses! My entire Ohana enjoyed shopping at Place. If you need to make a purchase or simply be inspired, I highly recommend visiting Place. I look forward to future collaborations with this amazing team!”
“A thousand stars for Kirsten's advice! She was the sweetest and so helpful. Highly recommend this store for souvenirs that people actually want and are useful, not just kitchy shirts and magnets. The entire aesthetic was really nice and elegant. Loved all the home goods items.”
“Located in the Kailua shopping area.There was only one clerk. It had a very quiet atmosphere and there were lots of cute items.When I asked if I could unfold the eco bag to buy it, I was told that I would be shown a photo.I was a little disappointed that I wasn't allowed to do so, even though the reason I wanted to expand it wasn't just to see the design.There were discounted items at the back of the store, and regular priced items at the Waikiki store were on sale at 60% off, which was a great deal.”
“awesome little shop run by fantastic people, check it out! not only are the items extremely high quality, but the saleswoman at the counter saved the day when she helped guide me through some high value purchases, even wrapped them up nicely as gifts, and when she rang me up i was so tired that i forgot to pick the gift up before walking away and assumed they were already in my bag! i would never have noticed, but she ran and managed to find me before it was too late, literally going the extra mile for me. i can't recommend this store enough if you want high quality unique items found nowhere else with excellent service!!”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
