Target - Salt Lake

Occupying the old Costco site, the Salt Lake Target is among the nations largest. I was there on opening day amongst the crowds and curious shoppers. Being that I have a Wal-Mart near my home, I can't say that I was very impressed. Sure, the place was packed but I didn't notice a lot of people buying anything. Most people were simply window shopping, probably having never set foot in a Target store in their lives.

Savers

Savers Waipahu

Savers is a great place to buy used items and vintage clothing. Doesn't "vintage" sound a whole lot better than used? :) Compared to The Salvation Army and Goodwill, Savers would be the "upscale" thrift store if there is such a thing...

NEX - Pearl Harbor

Here's a pic of the Navy Exchange Pearl Harbor. The World's largest NEX contains an Exchange, Commisary and Food Court. If you want to shop there you will need someone with a military ID to sponsor you in. A great place to buy omiyage, you don't have to pay Hawaii sales tax.

Waipahu Festival Marketplace

I just happened to be there on their grand opening to the public. (The Marketplace is clearly not finished yet.) A collaboration between the State and local vendors, the Waipahu Festival Marketplace is meant to rejuvenate the area. The market would allow small businesses retail space in a building, much like a "mini chinatown"

Waikiki Beach Walk

Waikiki Beach Walk is the largest development in Waikiki's history. Encompasing hotels, dining, shopping and activites, the huge complex is also Waikiki's newest development. Coming soon to the Waikiki Beach Walk - Trump International Waikiki.

Wal-Mart

I love having a Wal-Mart in Pearl City. If I run out of toothpaste I can go there at any time, day or night. If I feel like having a Big Mac at 2pm, no problem with a 24hr Mcdonald's inside. The PC Wal-Mart has a decidedly different look and feel. The colors and arrangement of the store was designed to match the plantation feel of old Hawaii.
