The location offers easy access for students living on or near campus, as well as Honolulu residents who appreciate the area's mix of academic energy and old Hawaii charm.

Parking

Parking on the UH Manoa campus can be challenging during peak hours, so visitors to the thrift shop should plan accordingly.

Weekday afternoons may require patience finding a spot, while Sunday visits typically offer easier parking availability. Some shoppers opt to walk or bike from nearby neighborhoods to avoid the campus parking hassle.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit right at opening time (12PM) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Sundays to get first pick of newly displayed items before other shoppers arrive.
  • Bring cash or check, as small volunteer-run campus thrift shops often have limited payment options compared to larger retail operations.
  • Check the UH Women's Campus Club website before visiting to confirm the shop is open, as volunteer availability or university breaks may occasionally affect hours.
  • Build relationships with the volunteer staff—they're often happy to share when new donations are expected or if special items have recently arrived.
  • Remember that all proceeds support scholarships and community programs, so your purchases directly benefit UH students and the local Honolulu community.
