Moving to Waikiki next week…where are the grocery stores?
I will be living in Waikiki for the next 6 months-I leave next week. I know it’s a touristy area with lots of restaurants nearby, but where are good grocery stores? Any local produce or farmer’s markets? Fresh seafood?
my boyfriend is going there with me…but thanks for the safety tips
There is a small Foodland at the Ala Moana Shopping Center and a larger Foodland in Kapahulu, just north of Waikiki. The closest Safeway would be on Beretania Street, about a mile from the Ala Moana SC. There is a Sam’s Club near the Ala Moana SC. Another chain market would be Times. There are a few small, community markets too. You’ll have to check the internet or the local paper.
There are numerous Farmers Markets on Oahu. I don’t know if it is still there, but there was one every Saturday at the Kapiolani Community College campus, near Diamond Head. There is a Farmers Market near the Ward Warehouse, one in the business district on the Fort Street Mall and numerous mobile ones in various communities. You will need a car or catch the bus. (Honolulu has a very good bus system,.)
