Hawaiian Graphics
Hawaiian Graphics is a great place to go if you are an art student and in need of supplies. The staff is very friendly and will even ask you if you need help. It is really good if you are a UH student because at the beginning of the school year they sometimes have a sale for UH students. If you have a valid ID you will get a discount. They sell items from drawing tablets, color pencils, special drawing pencils, and more.
Craft Supply
I like this place because its really huge with arts and craft supplies. They have everything from flowers, tiny boxes, Styrofoam balls, yarn, beads, instruction guides, party favors and more. Im surprised that they sell many items for a wedding designer. I like the selection of flowers (fake), which come in singles or in bundles. They also have classes here which I love. You will save a lot of money on you crafts by going here because they are really cheap.
Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin Crafts have great art products but you could probably get them cheaper elsewhere. Its difficult to find help at this store. You have to look for the employees to a ask question but they dont have a lot of them in the store. I like coming here when there is a sale. Once in a while, they have a sale where they give you get a large paper shopping bag and everything you put in there is 40 or 50 percent off. You will save A LOT of money.
Pet's Central
The great thing about Pets Central is that they have puppies. They have a large selection of breeds. The puppies are guaranteed to be healthy and come with a supply package when you buy them. The puppies are also backed up by a warranty, as weird as that sounds. The staff is really knowledgeable about them. They also sell hamsters, case, and food for your pets. They have nice toys but they dont have a great selection of them.
The Bike Shop
The Bike Shop has a nice selection of bicycles. There things are mainly for professional bikers. Along with bikes they sell apparel, bike accessories, and repair equipment. The staff can assist you with anything related to bikes but they are more helpful if you are a bike enthusiast. They also repair bikes and have rentals. Its very cheap but if you need it for more than a week, its cheaper to buy one.
Petland
Petland has many fishes. They have a large selection (in fact, I think half their store includes fishes) and many of them are very cheap. It is really sad that they dont sell dogs or cats. They used to but they dont have anymore. They do have hamsters and birds which are very cute. They also have many pet supplies such as cages, toys, and food. Look for their ad in the paper; they do have sales often.
Ever Blue Casuals
I love the selection of clothes they sell. It is very cheap and they also have a clearance section for those who like even cheaper items. They sell casual clothes, shoes, make up, accessories, and jewelry. Clothes range from five dollars to about thirty (and thats for dresses). Everything they have here is on style and very sexy. You can find these styles in magazines such as Seventeen and Teen Vogue. They are not the same brand but same design.
Hawaiian Brian's
They dont have smoking there anymore but every time I walk out of there I smell like cigarettes. Thats the only thing I dont like about this place. The rest I love. I come here to play pool with my friends. Sometimes it is free to play. They also sell food and there is a mini Fun Factory here. You can play for tickets to redeem prizes. They also have arcade games for those who like to shoot or race as well as DDR.
Flyin' Hawaiian Balloons
Flyin Hawaii Balloons has a very good selection of items. Not only do they sell balloons, they have stuffed animals and beanie babies. The balloons can be very expensive form a point of view but when you compare them to others they are cheap. If you want them cheaper, make your own balloons. They also deliver and know where to set up the balloons at your event to make it look professionally done.
Jellys The Original
Jellys has a very good selection of used books and CDs. You can save a lot of money on your books for school here. They also buy your items here but they are kind of picky about it. If you look rally hard, youll find one of a kind items that you wont find elsewhere. The place is really plain, they dont put a lot into the look of the store, but its cheap and thats what matters.
