Gate-side ABC Stores in Terminal 2
Just past security in Terminal 2, ABC Stores shows up again and again near several gate clusters, so you’re rarely more than a 3–5 minute walk away. It’s the classic Hawaii convenience shop: snacks, last‑minute gifts, sunscreen, and basic clothing all packed into one small footprint.
Hours generally track flight banks in Terminal 2, opening early for morning departures and staying open into the late-night Honolulu bank; you’ll usually find at least one ABC open by 5:30–6:00 a.m. and still trading after 9:00 p.m. Prices run higher than on the street, but still a notch below many mainland airport newsstands.
You’ll see pre-packaged macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, and shortbread gift tins right by the entrance racks, with single-serve snacks from about $2–$4 and small souvenir packs starting around $6–$10. If you want logo gear, check the T‑shirts and caps wall first; that’s where the Hawaii and HNL-branded pieces land, usually under $25 for basics.
ABC in Terminal 2 also stocks travel meds, phone cables, and power adapters behind the front counter, so ask there before trekking back to a main mall. Drink coolers sit along the side wall with bottled water under $4 and local juices and teas a dollar or so higher.
Quick tip: if your gate is in the mid‑E or early‑F range and one ABC looks slammed, walk 2–3 minutes toward the next cluster; another branch often has shorter lines and the same stock.
