Where to shop in Hawaii during the lockdown
Everyday life has become a little more complex as Hawaii navigates through the different tiers of their reopening strategy. Figuring out where to shop in Hawaii has become challenging as you’re unsure what is open and what is not.
As you attempt to plan your day or establish a routine, these retailers and restaurants have everything you need to get through these uncertain times.
Activities
One thing that has been pretty consistent throughout this year is the ability to cool off in the water. While the beach isn’t always open, the ocean is, and we highly recommend taking advantage of that. If you’re in need of a new swimsuit, beach covering, or any other outdoor clothing, H&M is the first place to look.
The best part about it: you can shop from home. Checkout the latest swimwear!
Trying to stay active during these unusual times, at-home yoga has become a staple morning activity over the last several months. Whether you’re still going strong or just needing some athleisure to chill in as you watch Netflix, Lululemon has everything you need to feel comfortable at home.
Lululemon is currently open at Waikiki Business Plaza
Mon – Fri | 9am – 7pm
Sat & Sun | 9am – 6pm
Or shop online from your couch!
Taking us back to our roots, sending postcards and letters is a fun way to connect with friends and family. It not only is a great way to connect and share more meaningful stories than texting, but it’s an excellent way to spend time.
The USPS within the Waikiki Shopping Plaza is currently open:
Mon – Fri | 9:30am – 5pm
Sat | 10am – 2pm

Food
Whether you’re looking for a quick bite to eat, or a shopping fix, ABC Stores have plenty of options to keep you busy. From warm and ready to-go food like musubis and hot dogs, coffee to get your day started, or fun aloha-themed masks, there are plenty of reasons to get out of the house.

Everyone deserves something to sweeten up life as we continue to push through these unusual times. Lucky for us, Honolulu Cookie Company allows you to shop online for your favorite cookies. They also have select locations open!

No matter how good your cooking has gotten in the last several months, it’s nice to be able to sit back, relax, and not cook! Tanaka of Tokyo allows everyone to get the dinner they want with a number of different bento boxes and salads for takeout or a full menu for dine-in at their Waikiki Shopping Plaza or Ala Moana location!
Tanaka of Tokyo is currently open daily from 5pm – 8:30pm
Retail
We’ve come to realize this year that it’s important to maintain your skincare routine even if you don’t leave the house. While staying indoors may lead to the belief your skin is staying cleaner than usual, that’s not necessarily the case as the more we stay indoors, the more our indoor space and air becomes dirty. Not only will maintaining your skin routine be good for your skin, but it’ll help get your day going and keep you motivated.
Don’t worry, you can get all the skincare you need without leaving your house on Sephora’s website.
We’ve all spent significantly more time chilling at home over the last couple of months. During that time we’ve noticed the limited number of comfort clothes in our closet. It’s time for more variety and less laundry days! Victoria’s Secret has you covered from head-to-toe in comfort options.
Revamp your closet from your bed by checking out Victoria’s Secret’s website.
A trend that has become more consistent is the ability for restaurants to have some form of dining open. While our out-of-home activities are limited, you should make those times out a little more special! Find the perfect clothes to dress up in at Armani Exchange to add to the excitement of your night out.
See their selection of shirts, pants, and shoes on their website!
