No, it's the one in South Kihei at Kamole Beach just a couple miles north of Wailea. This ABC is just slightly smaller than the Island Gourmet (same outfit just a different name) in The Shops at Wailea. The Wailea one has a few more menu offerings and fresh (raw) meat/fish that you can take home and grill/cook. Otherwise, it's very similar. I've always been fascinated by the ABC store concept. Only in tourist areas but where they are there are LOTS of them. The Shops of Wailea for example has three - two ABC Stores and the Island Gourmet.... and the mall isn't really that big. I was in Waikiki a couple months ago and there is literally one on every block in parts of the downtown/oceanfront area.

Waitrose quality and shopping experience is outstanding but, be prepared to pay for it. When wife and daughter lived here, i'd spend close on £300 a week. And that was during the pandemic, with the cost of living going up, i dread to think what it is now. I changed to sainsburys and will probably downshift again to Tesco once I've converted my nectar points to avios.

Does anyone have a recommendation for supermarkets in South Korea?

They fascinate me a bit because I always felt like it was walking through somewhere bucolic, with all of the sesame seeds, herbs, and dried roots available. Plus, they're (obviously) the best places to find Gilim Tom's brand of flavored almonds. But maybe there's one supermarket company that's a cut above the rest ....
