Went there today. Didn't realize it was King Kamehameha day....It was packed. Shopping cart lines from one end of the store to the other (and good luck finding a shopping cart). I do like the new store though. Lots of space and much more selection. And free samples of everything from steak to poke to bananas lining the whole store (kind of reminds me of Costco). They also have FREE WiFi throughout the building....and even an area with tables to sit down and eat while surfing the net. Also a cafe and Starbucks are inside along with Bank of Hawaii. Alcohol section is huge...and the produce section is twice as large then before. Now the bad news....the prices were very high. $1.30 for 1 lime. They raised the prices of their sandwiches. Their alcohol prices were out of this world. Even munchies were $1.00 more than other grocery stores.
