Liberty House, Hilo

Liberty House is an island fixture, although most mainlanders are unfamiliar with the name. This upscale department store can be found all over the Hawaiian island chain, with its Big Island branch located in Kailua Kona. As with other name-brand department stores (Macy's, Bloomingdale's), Liberty House offers primarily clothing: men's wear, women's wear, children's clothing, lingerie, etcetera. You'll find multiple cosmetic counters, accessories, shoes and specialty displays selling island products.
