Hickam Shopping Center

Although they don’t have as big as a selection as the NEX, I still love the this place less crowds and crazies. Will always shop here

To be honest this is a really sad Exchange. I am so glad the Navy Exchange is nearby so the military located in Hawaii have somewhere decent to shop. This is not the usual Air Force Exchange you would expect on a large Air Base. The only thing good about the whole facility is the food court.
If you a tourist and looking to shop at an Exchange then head to the Navy Exchange just past the Aloha Stadium.

Shopping center food court had some good restaurants, but the restrooms were super filthy! Building felt more like a warehouse and didn’t have much in stock. Employees were unfriendly and didn’t bother to assist customers.

I’ve seen much better exchanges around the military. Decent selection on clothes but nothing exciting. A little on the high side for price considering it’s an exchange. Don’t catch them on an inventory day because they won’t follow their store hours. Was turned away when I needed something at clothing sales. Unfortunately I needed it for that morning but I was told sorry can’t help you, our inventory is running long. Never been impressed with it before but the customer service took a hit after the reaction that was given to me. Disappointed in this exchange.

Well organized place. A little bit of everything there. It seems to be more pricey then nex or Schofield. They are never busy which is nice. And the tailor inside the clothing shop is pretty quick but expensive. But they do a good job. Good court is always clean as well. Customer service seems to lack there unfortunately.

Be prepare to dish out some cash!!! We usually don’t buy clothes here as it’s spend, however today I dropped a dress off for alteration $ 44.80 for one dress.

A relaxed shopping center with a food court and comissary nearby. Occasional fundraising events such as cotton candy and girl scout cookies.

Good place to do everyday shopping. Compared to the NEX, though, the selection is much narrower, which is the primary reason this gets three instead of four stars. Prices are good to excellent. Worth a stop if you are at Hickam already and/​or don’t want to deal with the beehive of the NEX.

Wish everything was in one building, but it does carry mostly all of the last minute or ‘don’t feel like going miles away’ type of stuff. Hate the gazillion reserved spots. Let’s get real on that one.

I like shoppn dor clothes here. Some are muxh cheaper than the nex.

Great place to shop. Very calm and relaxed atmosphere compared to the NEX.

Overall, this is a nice shopping center. It offers quite a few business, a nice sized food court, and the BX shopping mall. Two banks are also in the same parking lot.
The BX is nice, but has a smaller selection than what you would expect form most AAFEES, however I can understand not going all out for an exchange store when the largest Naval exchange in the world is just a few miles away. I do have a few problems with the BX, and unfortunately refuse to shop there unless necessary. I had some problems with negotiating coupons at the BX a while back. For some reason, they built to separate stores, one that sells mostly clothing and make-​up and one that sells household goods and the sort. This is obnoxious to me as it is, but it became even more obnoxious when I had problems with the coupons and asked to speak with the manager. The sales clerk told me that she wouldn’t be able to get him because he was «in the other store» (which is literally 5 feet away). I couldn’t even go find him at the other store without neglecting all of the items in my cart… because you can’t walk from one side to the other without making your purchases.
I would suggest if you have any clothing or make-​up purchases to make you would head to the NEX. The sales staff is a lot more helpful, and the selection is exponentially higher.
