Poster has lots of good Companies. It looks like its located in the kaimuki longs shopping center.
-
the poster at the range stated J. Hara from Hilo is opening a store on Oahu
-
is there another shop on Richards st? saw a posting on the board at the range today....
-
i thought the store name sounded familiar, hope they have a good selection of stuff, always good to have a new store. competition always good for the consumer. if anyone hears anything more......
-
J.hara is a awesome mom and pop outdoor supply store from hilo though they are more know for fishing supplies. Not familiar with the store on richard st downtown but I heard there was a ffl guy there who brings in small batch high end "eveil black guns"
-
Looked around kaimuki shopping center
Didn't see any sign of a gun shop
-
hmmmmmmmm........

im assuming if its at kaimuki shopping center it will be upstairs, third floor, by the chiropractors and other small offices.
i wish it were a huge store that took over the old columbia inn. the two restaurants currently in that spot suck. >:D

I wonder, when I looked up the address on the flyer Longs came up. Perhaps its on a different level or in an adjacent building, haven't been to that Longs in years. Its too bad they couldn't open up in the old Moiliili Longs location, could fit a lot of cool toys in there and it has plenty of parking.

Been in both shops for years. Not until today did I even think it was the same family.

Anyone got a pic of the posters that were up at the range?
-

Sorry if if missled but I don't think its same family 2 totally different shops totally.
I'm sure J.Hara won't stray from thier Hilo setup they sell guns. They stock a lot for such a small store in hilo volcano area
-
WOW

Oh OK.
I've been to Hara as I was working on the Big Island this past year. Really surprised me with all the ammo they had up there. Last time I was really in there was the 90's.

3221 Waialae

i didn't see anything this past weekend, but i remember the poster at the range said june.

nice! looks like its downstairs, by not-so-fantastic sams. i assumed theyd be hidden up top with minimal signs, like how kaneohe gun shop is.
-
sounds good. I can walk there :)
what kind of firearms stuff do their other stores sell? like LGS stock, or sports authority type stock?
-
3221 Waialae is formally known as Kaimuki Shopping Center. The makule among us might recall the property used to be the King's Daughters Home, with a big grassy lawn sloping to Waialae. Shopping center was developed in the late '70s. Times and Longs are the primary tenants.
Maybe the gun store is going in the basement level on the koko head end, where the game arcade is now.
-
I tried calling them.... No one answered?
-
Oh cool. That is my cousin's store. I didn't realize they were opening a shop here. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread.
-
I just messaged my cousin and asked if they are going to be selling guns. He said no guns yet. He wasn't sure if they could or not since it was so close to a school.

Any idea what they are going to sell?
-
J Hara is in Kurtistown. Yeah, I know lots of people would rather pretend that Puna doesn't exist and that everything that's not Kona is Hilo, but the map says otherwise.

Hmm... seems like it may be the first week of July now. IDK.
-
hey sound, thanks for the inside scoops, seems like a lot of people are anxious for the opening, interesting to see what they'll carry...
-
They open on Friday. I went there yesterday. They are on the first floor next to the game center. They have lots of fishing supply. Some ammo and air guns.
-
yeah, i guess they opened friday, but their grand opening will be in July. I don't really understand what that means.
-
grand opening is when they promote the opening
they may have specials, entertainment, and food
the opening now is a "soft opening"
they open the doors and do business, but without the hassle of the crowds, and work out the kinks before the "real" opening

thanks for the explanation. that is pretty much the reply i got after you posted this.
We are open for business now so that we can work out the bugs and kinks in our system. Also, with our workers being so new, they will need time to get adjusted to the computer/inventory system. As for our "official" grand opening, we will be having a HUGE sale on many items.

Went Saturday. It's between the elevator and Game Zone. Papered-over glass door. Banner above the door.
Surprisingly spacious inside. The merchandise seems to be split roughly in half between fishing and hunting/shooting stuff. No firearms, but they had ammo (22LR CCI and some Remington), reloading dies sets, some powder, rifle scopes, targets, cleaning stuff, gun cases. Plenty of arrows for archers/bowhunters.
Closed Sundays. Said they're working on being able to sell guns there.
Staff seems friendly. Aloha to them all. Glad to have another place to pick up supplies and gear.
-
Just checked out the place. It is on the ground floor corner of the Longs/Times building towards the right (next to Game Zone).
Lots of stuff in the little shop:
- lots of fishing stuff
- lots of archery stuff
- a bunch of meat preparation / smoking stuff
- some ammo reloading equipment
- some ammo towards the back
- some gun accessories including ATI rifle stocks, holsters, scopes, scope mounts
- a bunch of bb / air rifles
- backpacks and a bunch of hunting gear
- knives
They are working on their license to sell firearms.
I would consider this a great outdoorsman store, definitely equipped with gear for hunters and fishers.
The guy said their grand opening is July 6. Thought I'd pass the info along in case you guys are interested.
-
Store front and hours.
-
Went there today. Roughly half the store is gun related stuff. Powders (1lb & 8lbs), reloading presses, dies, bullets, ammo, leupold & weaver products, scopes, rifle holders, hard cases, soft cases, cleaning jags, bore snakes, oils and cleaning solvents. Employee was friendly and stated that the store was an extension of their Hilo store. Prices are higher than its competitors but it has a lot of stuff making it worth the visit. Grand opening is scheduled for July 6. Go check 'um out and welcome the store and its employees to the community.
-
now that their open, i still have to make it out to the store and check it out
-
next to the stairs on the first floor (Times level). No Guns. Ammo, archery, fishing, and hunting supplies. Bait too.
