We will need to pick up a few things like a cooler and beach chairs on our way to Poipu from the airport. Is the Walmart in Lihue the best place to do this? There is a shopping mall on the outskirts of Lihue as you are traveling towards Poipu, but I can't remember what's there (except for the Kauai Bakery...malasadas..YUM). Is there a store in that complex? Thanks for the help.

There's a Kmart next to the mall.

We always stop at the Wal-MArt outside of the airport and pick up any supplies that we need or that we forgot.

Thanks! 7 more days. 8-)

when you exit the Lihue Airport, go straight at the traffic light. Drive up Ahukini Rd for about a mile. Turn right at Kuhio Hwy (where Ahukini ends).
You will see Walmart on the right. It is much better than the K-Mart.

Exit the Airport, go straight at the traffic light. Drive up Ahukini Road a mile. take a right at Kuhio Hwy.
You will see Wal-Mart on the right side. Don't shop there. It is the downfall of America.

jor,
I totally agree with you. I'd rather not shop at Walmart. That is why I was asking about other stores as well.

We found Long's to have variety and great prices on all sundries both on Maui and Kauai. Isn't there a Long's in Lihue. - I'm trying to remember exactly where it was, so residents help!

There is a Longs on Nawilwili Rd in the Kukui Grove Shopping Center in Lihue and one on Kuhio Hwy in Wailua Shopping Village just south of Kapaa.

Thanks vivi.

Having just spent 6 years on Kauai, I can say with authority that Walmart is the cosmic vortex of the island, LOL.

vivi,
Wow! I thought vortexes (vorteces?) only existed in Sedona! Now I'll know what is happening when my car turns into the Walmart parking lot all by itself. :-?

We ended up having to shop a bit more and went to KMart instead of Walmart and what a pleasant experience it was - no crowds, easy to get around in, etc. The Lihue Walmart is a nightmare to get around in, small aisles, quite crowded the times we've been in. (Not Walmart or KMart shoppers at home, but good prices on the islands).
