Popular Korean-based convenience store CU Hawaiʻi just opened its second location.
The business’s second store is located in Kāhala — specifically Kāhala Korner, the same plaza where Kapa Hale and Olive Tree Café are located.
The new store — which is in the former Subway space — will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Due to its size, this location is more conducive to takeout.
CU Hawaiʻi opened its first location in Downtown Honolulu last fall.
While this store is smaller than the business’s Downtown Honolulu location, it includes some of its most popular features.
Customers can take advantage of the store’s smoothie machine and DIY ramen machine. Smoothies ($4.99 each) come in flavors like acai; strawberry and banana; and blueberry, strawberry and banana.
Customers can also choose from the extensive ramen selection, then use the machines to cook their ramen.
The store also features a large selection of grab-and-go hot and cold foods.
Hot foods include fried mandoo ($3.39), potato corndogs ($3.49), and tornado potatoes ($3.49). The latter — which features a crispy, spiral-cut potato on a stick — is a customer favorite.
Cold options include sweet and savory sandwiches, musubi, and kimbap.
Similar to its Downtown Honolulu location, this store offers a variety of assorted snacks and customizable drinks.
Customers can also find CU Hawaiʻi x Sig Zane merch, along with popular Korean skincare products.
