Everything You Need to Know About Costco Maui

If you are a Costco member, you know that shopping at your favorite warehouse store can help you save a bundle. Since many items are more expensive in Hawaii than on the mainland, being able to head to a Costco can help locals and tourists save big. Whether you live on Maui, are moving there, or just visiting the island on vacation, here is what you need to know about Costco Maui.

Costco Maui Location

The island of Maui only has one Costco. It is located in the city of Kahului, not far from the Kahului Airport and close to the northern shore of the island. This can be incredibly convenient for visitors. Once you grab your rental car, you can make a stop at the store, allowing you to stock up on items you need that you might not have brought with you.

If you head to the intersection of Dairy Road and Haleakala Highway, you’ll spot the Costco Maui location in a heartbeat. The official address for the Maui Costco Wholesale Warehouse is:

540 Haleakala Highway

Kahului, HI 96732-2303

For locals or travelers that want to contact the Costco Maui location, the store’s phone number is: 808-877-5241

While having only one Costco on the island seems inconvenient on the surface, Maui is fairly small, so most people can get there in a reasonable amount of time. There is practically a straight shot from Kihei to the Maui Costco, and visitors and residents of Lahaina can route through Kihei to reach the Costco.

In fact, most of the major tourist cities, like Wailea and Pa’ia, aren’t far away from the Costco. However, it can take about two to four hours to reach Costco from Hana if you take the Hana Highway, depending on the amount of traffic, as the road is very curvy and requires a significant amount of time and attention to navigate.

Costco Maui Store Hours

The Cost Maui warehouse offers reasonably convenient shopping hours, not unlike stores in the continental US.

If you want to head to the Costco warehouse on Maui, here’s when you should go:

• Monday through Friday: 10:00 am to 8:30 pm
• Saturday: 9:30 am to 6:00 pm
• Sunday: 10:00 am to 6:00 pm

As with other Costcos, the store on Maui does close on certain days of the year. In 2018, Costco Maui will operate on a holiday schedule on December 24, opening at 9:00 am but closing at 5:00 pm.

On Christmas Day, December 25, 2018, the Costco Maui warehouse will not open in observance of the holiday.

Warehouse Service at Costco Maui

The Maui Costco offers a wide arrange of services. Since filling up your car’s gas tank can be expensive in Maui, you may want to head to the Costco Gas Station to help you save. In some cases, gas will be $0.30 per gallon cheaper there than anywhere else on the island.

Additionally, the Maui Costco has a food court, hearing aid and optical departments, a pharmacy, a photo center, and a tire service center. Overall, it is a pretty much a one-stop shopping location for locals and travelers alike.

Cost-Savings at the Maui Costco

Depending on what you want to buy, making a trip to Costco Maui can be a smart choice. The prices for groceries, personal care items, and fuel tend to be lower than many other stores in the area.

Plus, the Maui Costco also carries fun items that tourists may appreciate. From travel books to Hawaiian shirts, you can typically find them at any Hawaiian Costco. The same goes for local coffees and macadamia nuts, making it a great option for enjoying some local flavors.

Other Costco Warehouse Locations in Hawaii

While Maui only has a single Costco warehouse, there are several others throughout the Hawaiian Islands. The island of Oahu actually has four, while Hawaii (the Big Island) and Kauai each have one.

The Oahu Costco locations are in the following cities:

• Iwilei
• Honolulu
• Kapolei
• Waipahu

If you are looking for a Costco on the Big Island, you’ll need to head to Kailua-Kona. On Kawai, head to Lihue.

The remaining eight main Hawaiian Islands (Kahoolawe, Molokai, Lanai, and Niihau) do not have Costco warehouses.

Should You Visit Costco Maui?

If you need to stock up on food, personal care items, and other essentials, or want to fill your gas tank for less, then heading to the Maui Costco might be a smart move. This is especially true if you are coming to Maui via the airport since the store is incredibly close.

However, if you are staying in Hana, you might not want to travel to Costco in the middle of your stay if you aren’t heading into that area for other reasons. The drive can be incredibly long, so take that into consideration before making a special trip.
