I am starting a new topic here.
Many mom and pop businesses on island,but prefer to promote just for Puna and Hilo .
I will post a new topic for just mom and pop eateries but this for those of us who like to network and keep the kala ( Money ) local.
The big box stores make it difficult for the small owners to operate in the black .
Please keep negative comments out of this new topic,we all have off days.We are all neighbors .
I shall start with 3 locally run businesses not related to our ohana other than excellent service with a smile.
1 )
Garden Exchange in down town Hilo .
A little bit of everything from tools to ferts to plants .Local run and operated.
2)
Argus Building Supplies - Best delivery prices island wide.Best pre approved house plans around.
Our ohana just paid for a 4 bedroom Argus Kit home for 30K cash.
They also have when in stock ,the best selection of Cedar island wide.
Before you go to HD or Hosador or even HPM ,please shop at Argus Building supply.
They also have a personal best list for all sorts of contractors if some one needs that extra little help,big or small.
3)
Hilo Propane - pure propane and not ag propane and offer commercial 10% off to businesses .
Great selection of propane appliances and sell aluminum propane bottles that never rust. Also a family run business.They also repair propane appliances as ag propane may be cheaper but it is 30% sulpher and that clogs up the stoves,palomas and fridges with soot and excess carbon.
