7-Eleven

I’m so upset. I walked in for ice n water to refill my Hydro and I’m a regular there aka: I do spend money there… Anyhow, I get asked by an older Samoan man if «I plan on making a purchase tonite»? As to the tone of I rarely make purchases and it would be nice for me to actually spend some cash once in awhile!
That pissed me off! I felt so ashamed being asked that. I have spent hundreds if not thousands of my earnings at this particular store. So wouldn’t a question/​statement like that upset you?
What a crock! And I paid for a banana after walking back to my truck just to physically show «how much do you want for me to spend? What is YOUR cost for me to refill my hydro flask huh?
SHAME ON YOU MANAGEMENT! And Shame on you OFFICE WORKERS IF YOURE SO DESPERATE TO EMPLOY JERKS LIKE HIM !

This is my favorite little 7 – 11! You may be thinking I’m a little silly always going to this 7 – 11, but I am addicted! To what you may ask. Vanilla lihingmui ice pops! I’ve never seen these things anywhere else and now I crave them like no other and have to drive all the way to this 7 – 11 to get some. Thankfully, my boyfriend lives nearby so when were in the mood for dessert, 7 – 11 is very convenient!
The se lihingmui ice pops are creamy vanilla flavor, but they stick a piece of Li hing mui inside too as like a little surprise lol trust. They’re he best!
More often than not, there are cops who hang out in this parking lot. If that doesn’t scare you away, I saw a guy take a leak in the bushes once. But hey, it’s a 7 – 11. They have all the usual musubi and sandwich foods, hot foods and snacks. You can only buy beer before 11:45pm or some weird time, so I’d you’re staying in nalo, make sure to stock up before you start your late night drinking and realize you don’t have enough. Lol.
I came once for an icee and was bummed because they didn’t have any good flavors ready. I hate icee machines. This was before I knew about the ice pops too though.

Like most 7-​Eleven stores this one is highly visible from a much traveled road way and very popular with people headed south from Kailua. Located on Kalanianaole Hwy. next door to Shima’s Market (the market with a wall mural painted by the late Ron Artis and dedicated to the Waimanalo community).
Especially busy on weekends and when the weather is cooperating this location serves it’s purpose as a convenience store providing an assortment of snacks, beverages, and other little stuff that you may need or may have forgotten like sun blocks and Tylenol.
The store is always clean and well stocked. The workers are Local Kine friendly and country style laid back and chill. The parking is adequate to handle normal traffic but tight during busier times. Not sure if restrooms are available (never had to use one on my visits here… sorry).

Love this place. I come in every morning to buy my caffeinated drink. The members of this establishment are super kind and friendly. Inventory is always in tact and maintains quality control. You guys are amazing and its not the same if I miss even a day

Just a pit stop for some musubi!!! :D Makes me a happy camper after getting tossed around at Bellows. On to Kahuku shrimp…

The worst 7-​Eleven I’ve ever been to hands down. I’ve been to various ones in my life time and none compared to the rudeness of the workers, filthiness and the shady dealings outside of their very doors. Whenever I’m In Waimanalo we just go to Shima’s Market instead since they have none of that.

Very friendly neighborhood 7 eleven along the Kalanianaole Highway, reason for 5 stars? You can order sushi and some chinese food items.
They have chinese sausage wrapped in the doughy bread available! This is the first sushi 7 eleven I have ever found! You don’t see this type of food service on the mainland!
Mahalo!
