I used to go to City Mill and buy misc tools and material to fixed up my apartment. The service was not great but I heard they have changed their reputation. City Mill has a lot to offer - hardware, paint supplies, curtains, shelves, even gardening. The prices are much cheaper than other big chain stores.
Everytime I go to City Mill, I always get ideas on how to make things. The guys there, if you can get a hold of them, are very knowledgeable and can help you with your project. I'd recommend you going to City Mill first before Lowes or Sears.

If you are looking for Koa furnishings- everything from picture frames & bowls to rockers & pens, then this beautiful store will have it. Koa is very expensive these days- a curly koa salad bowl can run over $500. At this store you will find everything, but pay retail prices with no discounts. If you want a better deal then buy your koa at a local craft fair. A good one is held in Thomas Square park in Honolulu on a fairly regular schedule.

I've been to Hilo Hatties about twice in the past year. That's only because we were looking for matching "Aloha wear" for the family, mom, dad, and two small children. We couldn't find anything that everyone would be happy with (well the mom and kids did, but the dad didn't).
I didn't care for the prints they had at the time, very bright colors, something I could wear to a party but not to work. We had to look elsewhere.

If you don't want to give Home Depot all the business, and are looking for something that HD doesn't carry, then try Slims. They are a small store, but they are one of the only retail stores that carries the sandpaper for my 6" random orbital sander. Most of the pro contractors in Honolulu frequent Slim's.

More
This is a small local company owned by a very nice man, Mr. Chang. He is very knowledgeable about electrical circuiting and can help you with small-scale electrical problems in your home. His service is based in town, so if you live in town, he can make it to your house rather quickly to solve your electrical problems. He is also an efficient and tidy serviceman. Hourly rates are reasonable. And he is very helpful in how you can prevent further electrical problems from occurring.

This is a very efficient landscape company that determines which trees are salvageable (diagnosis and tree hazard assessment) and cuts down/trims the trees that aren’t. The employees are very knowledgeable about landscape architecture and can tell you where trees would be most beneficial (they’ll even tell you how to improve the value of your property), etc. They also provide certified arborist consultations. They also work very quickly to remove the debris, and their rates are reasonable. This is not a company to go to if you want to have your lawns trimmed once a week or the like (bit too pricey); however, I definitely recommend them if you’re planning something bigger and would like structural and ornamental pruning. They have plenty of experience (since 1968) to do a great job.

Hawaiian Effects specializes in doors and windows. My mom had them custom design one for our house; although the prices are generally a little higher than usual, you’re paying for expert craftsmanship and design. I was really pleased with how the doors turned out; they are very much unique and are the target of much appreciation and compliments.

Besides garage doors, Island Garage Door Company also specialized in doors and windows, and home and garden retail. We have not purchased doors or windows from this company, we did have them install a garage door for us a few years ago. It still works perfectly, and it was inexpensive. Also, they have a really nice assortment of things to place in your garden like landscape stones and lawn gnomes.

Harry’s has specialized in appliance sales and service for over 25 years. As for their sales, they carry washers, dryers, ranges, stoves, ovens, refrigerators, water heaters, dishwashers, garbage disposal, and more. Their variety is also very good; they carry models from GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Westinghouse, Maytag, Frigidaire, Bosch, etc. I don’t have too much personal experience with their service; they helped us repair a minor problem with our washer once. However, basing my judgment on that one time, their service was prompt and the rate was very reasonable.

More
We used their services a few years ago, and have had no termites since. In fact, there hasn’t been much of anything else either – no roaches, ants, bugs – so I’d say they did a good job with the tent fumigation. It was affordable, and their schedule is flexible and convenient. Besides tent fumigation, they also provide ground termite treatment (they use the Sentricon System – a baitube device for ground termites), bird control, and other pest control (fleas, ticks, mice, ants, silverfish, rats, moths). They can service both residential and commercial properties.
