ABC Stores, Honolulu

Whether you're looking for flip-flops, cheap beach mats or chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, the neighborhood ABC store is the first place to go. It's a one-stop shop for inexpensive souvenirs, beach gear and sundries. While some of the merchandise found here is a little bit silly (hula dolls and aloha-print backpacks), some of it is highly practical. The stores are frequented by locals and tourists. The address of one of the largest stores is listed below. Others are sprinkled throughout Waikiki.
