Safeway Express - Kahului, Hawaii

Maui W. T.

Maui's first Safeway fuel station and Safeway Express convenience store is now open at the Ho'okele Shopping Center along with a brand new Safeway store. Access points are from Pulehu Road (side road) or on Ho'okele Street from the east-bound lanes only.

FUEL STATION:
It's three islands wide for a total of 18 pumps that are spaced far apart so there's lots of room to maneuver around. And the kicker? The price per gallon was only 4-cents higher than Costco Gas, a small price to pay should you need fuel at peak times. I'm 99% sure they're open 24/7. My friend put in her Safeway number but didn't receive any discount on gas ($3.17/gal); not sure if she doesn't have any points or what.

EXPRESS STORE:
Safeway's version of a gas station convenience store has all the bells and whistles inside. Pokē bowls, soft serve, hot dogs, coffee stations, and alcohol are available in addition to the usual offerings. They even have a walk-in beer refrigerator! A Bank of Hawaii ATM is inside too.

OVERALL:
New, clean, and competitive.

Needed to fill up our rental car before returning it to the airport rental agency. Stopped at this convenient Safeway Express gas station.

Plenty of pumps available (3 per island area) and a small convenience store also.

Had accumulated 50 cents off per gallon being a Safeway card member also. Nice perk at this gas station. Will definitely visit again.

Recently while visiting Maui I had a misadventure early one morning. While sitting in my rented car planning my day I left the headlights on. The battery went dead. I ran over to Safeway Express looking to purchase jumper cables. With no one to jump my battery for me, without hesitation, the Safeway Express manager offered to come over (about a football field away) and give me a jump. Not only that, she went to her office and got her portable jump starter so I didn't have to purchase. This store manager was so so nice! She literally walked me back to my car with a smile on her face, great conversation and assured me that it was no problem whatsoever. That was my first morning in Maui and was indicative of the people of Maui that I was sure to cross paths with the rest of my stay. Everyone there was kind and welcoming just like that Safeway Express manager that morning. Thank you so much for your kindness! You really set the tone for a wonderful visit to your most beautiful island and you are much appreciated. Mahalo!

Pumps operate half speed, plan on spending 10 to 15 minutes pumping for a full tank. Usually half the pumps are out of order and there is a big line. One time I wanted to pump gas and there was no premium available on any of the pumps. Please do a better job Safeway.

Good gas prices, but the fact that there is zero parking for the convenience store is very inconvenient for people waiting to fill up! People want to utilize the store while they fill up as Safeway intended. But they’re spending more time in the store than they are filling up. Gas lines are unnecessarily long because of this. Today, half of their pumps were broken. Thought I had found a gem. I’ll be sticking with Costco.

I wish I could rate this gas station 0 stars. It’s the same price as Costco but terribly run. They have 3 pumps per lane but 2 were broken in my lane. I waited for 20 minutes and only moved 2 cars up before leaving and going somewhere else. Costco may have a longer line but at least it is run well.

I don't know what's going on with the other gas stations because Safeway Express gas prices are the best on maui. I drive from the other side of the island where I live just to fill gas here. The other day the price was two dollars cheaper then where I live. The other gas station just reaping off the people.

Slow pumps early closing sucks. I get off work at 10 pm always have to go to 76 station and go back to Safeway on my day off.
