Windward Mall

What a relaxing mall this is! Been here twice since this writing but it feels like my first time. I am not really familiar with this mall but my impression was that this mall is really promising.

Love how it's not crowded & busy in here. Maybe because it's in the middle of the day on weekdays? Anyhow, this could be a great shopping mall. They also got lots of parking space which is really nice.

Would love to check more on what's this mall has to offer. Although it's a long drive it's good to have a shopping mall like this that has a slow pace vibe.

Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yeeps.

Our latest day trip to The Gathering Place included a stop here as we were wanting to try the new location of Waiahole Poi Factory. Needless to say, they were sold out of kalua pig at lunchtime, so we skipped them and browsed around instead.

The 2-level, enclosed mall opened in 1982 and looks like its been freshened up here and there on the inside. Shaped like a "Y", each wing houses anchor tenants at the ends, with shops on both levels throughout. The mall was very congested as it was holiday shopping season and a keiki hula show was happening too.

STORES:
I wanted to check out their Macy's but it was shuttered! Target, Ross and a 10-screen Regal Cinemas are the lone surviving anchors. The rest of the tenants are a mix of local businesses & services, and a handful of national retailers.

FOOD COURT:
Located on the first level, the small list of eateries is good, offering a nice variety of fast casual dining. Seating is at a premium though.

RESTAURANTS:
Not too shabby either! You definitely don't need to leave the area to enjoy grub found on the other side of the mountains. Highlights include Big City Diner, Buffalo Wild Wings, Gyu Kaku Japanese BBQ, Hawaii Pot Shabu Shabu, Kickin Kajun, Pieology and Ruby Tuesday.

PARKING:
There's a small covered area on the west end but the majority is uncovered asphalt that surrounds the mall.

OVERALL:
Suitable mall for the twin towns of Kaneohe & Kailua.

Good to see the Windward Mall Sunday farmer market still going strong. Decided to stop by real quick to use the restroom plus to get a quick snack .

I decided to go and buy a hot dog bun at Manny's bake shop . 2 hot buns for $3 can't go wrong . They also sell other pastries but I had my heart set on getting hot dog bun.

When in the are support local by helping out farmers straight to table . Also local small businesses at the Windward Mall every Sunday.

Support local

I love coming to Windward Mall. Over the years, many stores and shops have come and gone. There are so many new places to check out everytime I get the opportunity to come out here, and there are also so many places I miss since they've gone.

Currently, I've noticed more empty spaces than I've ever noticed before. But there are still many, many amazing places open. I love this mall for so many reasons, not just the cool shops. There is an amazing indoor farmers market, I believe it's still twice a week? So so so many awesome vendors come out all the time. I also like that this farmers market is still that, a farmers market, and hasn't turned into a craft fair like so many others.

Windward mall is also great for the many community events that it hosts. It also has a really good indoor playground for when you wanna tire the kids out, but not in the sun!

If you are handicap or disabled this might not be the mall for you. Just know that there is very limited handicap parking. The side with the food court only has four stalls so plan to be dropped off. Or hope for a stall to open up but good luck if there is an event going on.

Located off Kamehameha Hwy in Kaneohe. Just like you typical mall two levels and a sleuth of stores and food court. Just came by to get a shirt from T&C and to look around to see what kinda stores were here. One thing that was a blast from the past was seeing a Fun Factory that was a place we would go when I was little so my parents could go shopping while leaving me at Fun Factory lol. Overall not bad of a mall.

One of the kiosk that sell pretty lit up baloons...we got 3 of them and in less than 30min the handles were all breaking. And in 3 hrs the lights are not lighting up.
Now there is clear tape on it to keep it straight up.
I could change the batteries but like...really?!?!!?
my toddlers are still having fun but I would suggest not spending the $15 a baloon on these things.
And while I'm writing this one of the baloons popped.

This is not just a mall. It is a community center. It has one of best farmer's markets on the island and you are inside so you can shop rain or shine. They also support local hula schools, musicians and performers by providing a place to perform. The have health fairs,Kupuna line dancing and other informational events.

All this in addition to having great eateries and a good mix of stores.

I consider this a great neighborhood mall. I wish they would put a Whole Foods store out there and it would be a perfect mall for me! I would not need to go into town(honolulu)for anything ever again!!

Windward mall on Saturday had a local vendors show in the mall tomorrow they will have their farmers market help on Wednesday and Sunday!

Great for indoor shopping and browsing with lots of other stores, besides the activities going on they also reopened the children indoor playground and it's free!

Lots of free park and restaurants to take out or dine in! Also Ruby Tuesday has reopened the salad bar!
