Duke's Marketplace

My husband and I are visiting Oahu for our 10 year anniversary. While staying at The Royal Hawaiian, we decided to take a stroll to Duke’s Marketplace. We were appalled when the operators of stall #52 (BMJ Collection) refused to serve us. We are “black” Americans and the owner refused to look at us. When we asked to see items on the shelf, he told us to go away and said he was busy, but then helped someone directly behind us. When we asked what the problem was, he then asked us how much money we had to spend; obviously assuming that we didn’t have any money (which is definitely inaccurate). It was obvious at this point that he wanted nothing to do with black people. This owner does not deserve to have this stall if he is going to treat people this way.

LOOK FOR STALLS #3, 51, & 60! Very nice people! Stalls that sell trinkets, clothing, souvenirs, and other miscellaneous items that you can barter for cheaper. However, be warned that you could get those exact items at an actual store for much cheaper! A nice place to walk through though.

This is big place .. it has very nice restaurant, fast food shop , coffee shop and ABC store all in one inside . You will get everything you need here . Pizza at the fast food restaurant was very good. Freshly made and yummy..there are lot of food items you can eat here .. Service is fast . There is not seating place for fast food restaurant , so it's mostly just pick up and eat somewhere else . Restaurant has many seating arrangement. There is a BARGAINING market just behind or I can say other end of the complex. So don't buy any gift or souvenirs from any where , you will get all from this market and you can ask for your price ..:)

It is great for tourists in the vacation mindset, and don't mind wasting money. It's just another ABC store in disguise. They are convenient stores, so I understand paying for convenience. I just don't understand why ABC is so convenient that they need 3 stores on one block.

GREAT Place to just enjoy the local flavor. A small stall visitors market with local fresh food and a lot of cool items for sale. Tucked between the "Gold Coast" shops so you can actually find something affordable.
