Molokai has one main commercial area: Ala Malama Street in Kaunakakai. There are no department stores or shopping malls, and the clothing is typical island wear. Local shopping is friendly, and you may find hidden treasures. A very few family-run businesses define the main drag of Maunaloa, a rural former plantation town. Most stores in Kaunakakai are open Monday–Saturday 9–6.
This vibrant shop on the Ala Malama strip sells quirky souvenirs like funny T-shirts, jewelry, and local products. They have a café counter offering sandwiches, smoothies, and salads. The owners act as informal area guides, helping visitors find their way around and arrange services that they may need.
The factory has custom-made kites you can fly or display. Designs range from Hawaiian flags to Hawaiian animals like pueo (owls) with a little bit of mermaid fun in between. Also in stock are paper kites, mini kites, and wind socks. The adjacent gallery carries an eclectic collection of merchandise, including locally made crafts, Hawaiian books and CDs, jewelry, and other souvenirs.
One of Hawaii’s better-known clothing lines for contemporary aloha apparel, Hawaii's Finest sells just that, and at fair prices. This shop on the Ala Malama shopping strip fits in with the Hawaiian pride that permeates Molokai’s culture. Their modern designs and bold colors adorn light cotton fabrics and accessories, and the apparel comes in a variety of sizes. This is your best option if you're looking for matching family wear.
Don't let the name fool you; along with a surprisingly good selection of fine wines and liquors, the store also carries cheeses and snacks for a nice wine and cheese at sunset experience.
This fun and funky store near the airport is great for supplies for a day in the sun including sunscreen, fins, masks, and more. The real draw here is to stock up on souvenirs, jewelry, books, and more from their variety of fun items (they also have a nice kids corner), and maybe even choose a ukulele to bring home.
The best-stocked supermarket on the Island has a slogan ("Your family store on Molokai") that is truly credible. Sun-and-surf essentials keep company with fresh produce, meat, groceries, and liquor. Locals say the food is fresher here than at the other major supermarket.
Across from Kanemitsu Bakery, this one-stop shop offers fancy and casual island-style wear, including Roxy and Quicksilver for men, women, and children.
You'll find soaps and lotions, a small collection of 14-karat-gold chains, rings, earrings, and bracelets, and a jumble of Hawaiian quilts, pillows, souvenirs, books, and postcards at this local favorite. T-shirts, aloha wear, beach clothes, and muu muu are all available if you're clothes shopping.
This small market that’s been open since 1938 has a little bit of everything and is a good stop for provisions, drinks, and other goodies before visiting the western or northern part of the Island. This multigenerational mom-and-pop store is run by the same family as Molokai Wines and Spirits.
The most diverse working farm on Molokai is the place to purchase fresh produce, herbs, and gourmet farm products. Stop by their farm stand for well-priced, jaw-dropping produce.
Stocking meat, produce, beverages, and dry goods, this shop is a convenient stop if you're planning a picnic at one of the west-end beaches. Stop for other treats as well—they've got ice cream, beer, and plenty of tasty snacks.
A small downtown shop, this arts and crafts co-op has locally made folk art like dolls, clay flowers, silk sarongs, and children's items. The shop also carries rotating original art by more than 100 Molokai artists and Giclée prints, jewelry, locally produced music, and Saint Damien keepsakes.
