There was a great store in Waipahu, HI called some Arakawas or some spelling close to that. The sold everything. Long before Wal Mart or Target. We bought fine china for my mom. Tons of fireworks, all tools, lawn mower stuff, bicycle stuff, model airplane stuff, clothes, and shoes. It was great to wander around in there. It was a large store with little aisles and many fond memories. I can't imagine they are still around. Big box stores killed them I am sure. I was way to young to remember if they sold booze or any alcohol, but they sold sushi and fresh seafood.

I found this:

As expected they are closed long ago.
