Snack shop 1-2 Buy Hawaiʻi is known for its impressive selection of imported Asian snacks. Its Kakaʻako warehouse is always filled with a rotating selection of not only snacks, but beauty products, cooking supplies and household goods.
The business recently opened another location — this time, in West Oʻahu in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. The business doesn’t have an official sign in front of its store, but look for the “1-2 Buy” signs in the window; it’s located across Queen’s Island Urgent Care in the shopping center. It’s open daily from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

While this store is smaller than its Kakaʻako warehouse, you’ll still find a huge selection of snacks to choose from. You can expect to find a variety of Kit-Kats from Japan, Pocky in a wide range of flavors, chips from Thailand, and breads in an assortment of flavors.


Select from an assortment of sodas and milk teas, as well as ramen in a variety of flavors. Like the Kakaʻako store, this location also features cooking supplies and condiments.

The business opened a pop-up in Pearlridge Center’s Wai Makai during the holiday season, but we’re told that the Pearlridge pop-up is closing at the end of this month.
Stay tuned for the grand opening of 1-2 Buy Hawaiʻi’s Pearl Kai location.
