Our Cooking Classes in Honolulu and Kapolei will be charging a $5 fee starting April 1st.

When you attend these classes, you’ll definitely want to come hungry! No reservations required but seats are limited and are at a first come, first served basis. We will accept cash or check payments at the door. Children under 12 are free.  Cooking Classes in Kailua and Kahului will continue to be free with demonstrations of 2-3 recipes.  

You’re the first to know!  This April we will install a new “HowGood” product price tag system in all our stores.  It will provide an easy way for you to see whether a product is environmentally friendly and socially responsible. You can make a quick, informed buying decision right in the grocery aisle.
