KTA Super Store – Puainako

Top choice in Hilo


An outstanding family-owned company, KTA's flagship store includes a bakery, pharmacy and sprawling deli. Don't miss the impressive selection of fresh poke (arguably the best in Hilo) and takeout bento box meals, which sell out by mid-morning. The Mountain Apple house label indicates locally sourced products.

In a pinch, stop at the downtown branch, which is less extensive and spiffy, but carries the essentials.
