Borders Store

A welcome from Tanya Kaleo, General Manager

Aloha and welcome to the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Our Hilo Store is located just minutes from the airport in the heart of the Waiakea Shopping Center. We have the world's most active volcano in our back yard, about 30 minutes from here in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Ask Barb to share with you the exciting site of the current eruption she views from her house. Come visit our Hawaiian section for an extensive variety of merchandise. Learn about the local culture and history or the hottest hiking and surfing spots on the island. You can also pick up your copy of the latest Bestseller for the airplane ride home or a relaxing novel under the coconut tree.  Our community as well as our staff is very diverse, with many of the staff having worked here for several years. People come especially to pick Barry's brain about Hawaiian music and every Saturday afternoon we have Auntie Lia's Keiki Story Hour. The Keiki (children) enjoys her stories and fun filled crafts.

Our store is one of the smallest in the chain, but our spirit and aloha is huge.

E komo mai, e aloha kakou.
