KTA Super Stores - Downtown — Attraction in Hawaii

I sent a message regarding how I was treated by 2 employees at this store 3 weeks ago..I have NEVER got a response. I was at the store while visiting the island as I needed to buy some groceries, including ground meat. Being environment conscious, having my own bags and containers, I asked at the meat counter to have my meat placed into my OWN container or re-wrapped in paper. ALL the meat I buy in Ontario, is wrapped in butcher paper which can be composted or burned. After explaining TWICE to the men in the meat dept. that I did NOT take plastic, foam trays or meat diapers, (and the reasons why) I was faced with eye rolling, shaking of heads and 'under breath' comments. I asked for a simple thing to be done to LESSEN the amount of garbage on an island I do not even live on! I was faced instead with ridicule. After a few minutes, the meat guy took my tray and went into the back. He came back out with the meat wrapped in paper and then wrapped back in the plastic! After getting to our rental home, I found that he also did NOT remove the meat diaper! I found this VERY poor service..but I am shocked I did not get a response from the corporate office after sending them a message. I am currently on Oahu and will NOT frequent KTA ever again. The plastic crisis needs to be addressed. If we can do it in Canada, you can...

This was our first time visiting this KTA store—one of the two in Hilo. The store was smaller than we expected, but it seemed to have a wide selection of items. However, we were hoping to buy some bento, and by the time we got there around 1 p.m., they were almost all sold out. It's probably a sign of how popular they are, but it was a bit disappointing. Still, there were a few remaining items near the entrance, such as rice balls (Yukari $1.49, Kombu & Ume $2.89 each), a 5-piece inari sushi pack ($8.95), ANPAN, and daifuku (mugwort and bean varieties), which we picked up. They also had different flavors and types of wagashi (Japanese sweets) compared to the KTA in Kona. (Just making a note for myself.) Since it's located in the downtown area, the parking lot isn't very...

The Super KTA Store in Hilo’s selection of food, especially local cuisine, is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're in the mood for premade, hot and ready-to-go dishes, or you're looking for the basics like fresh produce, cereal, pickles, hot sauce, chocolate candy, or quality fresh meat, this store has you covered.

What's particularly outstanding is the freshness of their seafood, and the quality of their eggs and dairy products. Additionally, there's a well-curated selection of liquor for those looking to add a little extra flavor to their shopping list.

With ample parking and a welcoming atmosphere, this Super KTA Store truly lives up to its 'Super' name. It's a one-stop shop for everything you need, and it's a local favorite for a good reason. Highly...
