About

Pukalani Superette is a friendly mix of just about everything a person needs from a snack to a smile. Maybe that’s why the little store on the corner of Haleakala Highway and Makawao Avenue bustles with energy. One of the last of Maui’s true mom-and-pop establishments, the Superette is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and still going strong. Pukalani Superette, or Puk Sup (Pook Soop) as regulars have nicknamed the store, has tailored its inventory to its changing clientele. One can find bundled firewood, chicken feed, diapers, lentils, greeting cards, fresh flowers, cough drops, extra virgin cold press olive oil, ice, beer, coconut water, Bob’s Red Mill products, and baked goods and the list goes on, not to mention every staple a home might need from light bulbs to aspirin to ground beef.
