Always comforting, majority of base exchanges are set up similarly and carry all the usual necessities as well as new products. Stores are always clean and inviting, and well stocked. Price match on everything and no sales tax. Personnel always friendly and helpful. Cant beat em!
I can honestly say that I am always impressed and totally satisfied with staff members at our Hickam BX Exchange! You can sense the gratitude and sincere concern and respect shopping here! Simply outstanding and no one comes close to their expertise!
One of the better EXchanges I have been too. A good selection inside with a great furniture and outdoor section as well as a decent food court. Beats Kadenas BX, thats for sure.
Its very different from the NEX but over all employees are very helpful.
Its convenient and always receive service with a smileπ
Went there to eat lunch from one of 6 lunch trucks that park right in the Malls Walk way Entrance. Food truck service very slow. I waited 45 mins for my Tai Food. Soooo Irazzzzz
We went looking for a specific TV that was on sale, buy unfortunately they were sold out. We asked thw salesperson to call Schofield to see if they had any...which she did, but they did not. She was nice enough to give us a rain check. Then she was even more awesome when she tracked us down in the store to let us know that a shipment had just arrived with the TV we wanted! That was the most amazing customer service I have received in a looooooong time. Although the store was a little temperature for my preference, her customer service earns 5q stars!
A good place to shop
The shops are fine, but the BX is struggggglin.not enough employees perhaps.. maybe just poor management idk. needs an overhaul
Much less crowded than the Navy exchange, smaller though as well.
Great store with pretty much anything you could possibly want at discounted military prices. I got a great pair of name brand sunglasses for $23, marked down from $95.
IF you have a VIC card one can buy here, otherwise go online to get tax-free products.
Pretty solid clothing selection and super nice staff. Although the air conditioning is kinda lacking in power.
Great place. Lots of parking and many items available for purchase.
Good location to shop
Very convenient if your living on hickam. Great selection for a small store, food trucks are great!
I would be hesitant to post a negative review during COVID, but this is an exception since this business is not affected due to who shops there. The last time I shopped here was back in February after a very stressful day and ever since have not been back. Shortly after getting my cash back amount of $50, I was either pickpocketed or if that cash slipped out of my pocket, someone who did not have the integrity to give it to me picked it up. This all happened in a span of a few minutes. I shopped at the BX before driving over to the commissary next door. When I got off at the commissary, I realized that the cash was not on me. I ran over to the BX parking lot and searched the vicinity, only to not find the money. If you do shop here, be very careful and aware of your surroundings, especially after getting a cashback. Besides, every time I stopped at the BX with a list of things to buy, it would be a f-king waste of my time because this store does a terrible job with inventory and has stocking issues. That day of me losing the cash probably helped me to make up the decision to not set foot inside of that store again and waste my time. This store does not have many options. The NEX is so much better in all aspects.
Convenient to work place and they usually have what I need
Great customer service cashiers are very cordial and greets you with a big smile
Solid service for our serving men & women and families
Well organized store
Always good prices...
Not a bad place to grab something quick compared to the NEX. Never too busy. Right next to the commissary too which is less packed too.
Dismal in comparison to the NEX
I love shopping here. At Hickam
Fresh new facility its well stocked and nicely sorted. Also far less people so shopping is much nicer than the Pearl Harbor NEX
Facility is in need of a face lift.
The BX is big with second floor. The staff is friendly and very helpful as well. Of course the weather is very nice in Hawaii. However the price for the products here seem little more expensive comparing to other states. Im assuming this is due to it being on an island. Overall very good BX
Good service and friendly service.
Has a lot the basic necessities as well as a decent electronics and outdoor department. It is lacking in terms of household items such as curtains, bed and bath stuff. It does have enough of these things to get by, though. If youre looking for better sales and more variety, I recommend the NEX mall just a few minutes away. The BX can get busy on weekends too, and you may expect a 5-10 minute wait in the checkout line.
Its on Hiickam AfB never crowded. Have most everything you need. No tax. Good customer service.
Great place to shop
Hickman Food Court was a great morning experience. The food court manger, Valarie W. was so available to the guest, she was professional and pleasant. I have a gluten sensitivity so Cely at the Subway made me the best salad it was delicious and feeling. When you are in a food court coffee or tea people should can or may stop at Starbucks... I did- and there I met Leanne and she made my day. Beautiful customer service and very professional . She was quite aware of her companies protocol and standards. Thank you you all for helping a mother, grandmother, senior citizen and a disabled veteran.Sincerely, Kathy B.
Spacious and clean. The only problem is there are never enough cashiers. Wait times for the checkout can be very lengthy.
I love shopping at the Hickam BX. It is not over crowded. The atmosphere is welcoming and I have never had a problem with any of the employees in any of the interactions Ive had. The only reason I gave the location four stars is due to the product selection. It is a smaller exchange so options are limited. The prices are fair compared to other Exchanges (Navy Exchange, or Schofield BX) Parking is never an issue either. If you have access to the Hickam BX Exchange, check it out and compare the prices with the other locations on the island. Dont forget to stop in and check out the food trucks as well. Ive had a few meals that I definitely recommend.
Overall a great experience
Clean, well stocked.
Standard military shopping mall. Has all the essentials and basic food court.
The UPS there is outstanding!
Love going on base, it reminds me of my time in the Air Force. They have everything at great prices too. The staff are great.
Hickam Bx is phenomenal at putting on free events for our keiki. Weve attended Lego events, holiday events, Star Wars events, and numerous others. They usually have a cookie tray and water, and certificates for the kiddos. My girls love coming to the different events. It is so greatly appreciated by the kids and Moms & Dads alike!
This was a pretty standard AFB Exchange with the standard chain restaurants. I wonder if its a coincidence that I see the same restaurants in most of the exchanges Ive visited. In any case, I like the Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Fried Chicken here. There are also outdoor food kiosks here.
Great, the store got what we need, we dont have to go anywhere else and it made it easy for us especially today is Friday, traffic is unbelievable! Thanks and have a wonderful week end!
Its an exchange
It carries too many high end products. I cant spend two hundred dollars on a purse. Wanted souvenirs but prices were too no high and never found the plumeria.
The original big store for military in Hawaii preceding the NEX Mall
This place is a hit and miss for me, some items they dont have. Also right now they are renovating the place so its hard to find things. I do love the cashiers, several of them have made it a point to remember my husband and me. Also, people will go out of their sections to try to help us and we really appreciate the effort.
Quiet, well stocked
Not crowded as the NEX, but not as big of a variety in comparison. This Exchange is separated into 2 building. With 1 shaping itself as a mini Macys department store and the other shapes more like a sports, kids and seasonal outlet store.
H & R Block so convenient for me, the person assisting me was very thorough and patient with my questions. His name is Tyler.
Make sure to bring your military ID! They offer a wide variety of things you would need but they only carry one to two of each item. There is a nice garden center, kids toys, health and beauty, snack items, pet care, holiday decor, furniture, electronics ect.
Not a bad spot. The selection was great. We went in to look for kids shorts and found them but not in the right size/color that our son wanted. No big deal. Afterward, I found a pair of Brooks running shoes that were $30 cheaper than online. Easy decision to buy. I definitely recommend going here if you hate the busy malls on island. Theres a Starbucks in the food court too!
My stomping grounds, things have changed since my last visit in 2012. The exchange portion of the property is still the same architecture, but reorganized for the better, the store looks way more organized, with you being able to see the whole store fron the entrance, womanly products on the center, with sporting goods, technology and other areas on the perimeter, with appliances and other bigger matters on the second floor. My friend says this exchange is so small compared to other exchanges (esspecially the Navy exchange next to the Moanalua shopping center) but I like the intimacy of the size, yet the versatility of what it offers. It serves the military patrons well in my opinion as a former dependent of my father.
Beautiful exchange..not a lot of selection for such a big base. we went looking for clothes for my teenage son. The clothes were either too big or too small. not a lot of selections for teens.
Honestly unless youβre living on base, just go to the nex. I get itβs usually busy but this place is so wild and confusing layout wise itβs unreal. Employees are nice though!
Very nice store
Has mostly what you need and WAY more convenient than the NEX. Get in and out quick at the BX.
If you have the patience to drive on to hickam you will be very happy with this exchange. Its way less busy than the Navy fleet store and had just as much to offer... Except the food court has less options
Love the Exchange! Less crowded than the Exchange off base
Great, friendly service! Usually not that busy either.
Such a good selection of everything. A big location. In and out, noce customer service. Good deals on shoes.
Solid BX. Pretty average for a BX, but way better than the Army PXes nearby. Good selecrion of items to include clothes, furniture, toiletries and more. Prices are much better than off post. Courtyard has a Subway, Popeyes, Starbucks and Papa Johns. Commissary is near, which nice also and convenient. Would recommend.
Way less crowded and slightly cheaper than the navy mall
Love visiting the exchange on base especially when they have sales going on. Its big, clean, well organized and the staff is very friendly. Like always, all purchases are tax free!
4 stars only because every time I come here size XS & S are always sold out. Other than that good variety of items offered
Newly renovated.Pros everything is in one building now, except furniture. Furniture is in the single floor main building. Cons, really short staff with associates and cashiers.
Great environment and always there to help.
Very nice festive cashiers!!!
Like that its on base and its calm. Navy exchange is too frenetic
Good selection and cheaper selection than nex. Could use a bigger selection of hair and makeup products though.
This place conveniently has everything you could need if you are in a hurry or do not want to deal with shopping out in town.
Good place to shop on Black Friday. Nobodys there!
This BX is clean and has a good variety of products. Very convenient and not nearly as busy as the NEX both inside and parking wise. Great customer service.
Great place to shop when the closest NEX is too busy. Competitive prices, but not as much selection. Tax free! Another great military benefit.
The bus takes yu directly to the base
My favorite place.
Limited selection due to proximity if other military exchanges.
Nice little Exchange. Not as big as the Navy Exchange but definitely convenient. Has a nice food court.
Good luck trying to purchase anything from the electronics section.Hardly anyone ever stationed up there.Tried to purchase a charger, no one as at the register in electronics. We decided to wait in line at normal check out only to be turned away. Apparently these purchases need to be done upstairs. Yet there wasnt anyone at the register after waiting in line for 10-15 minutes.Another customer confirmed this.We didnt make our purchase and will be making future electronic purchases elsewhere.Limited selection anyway.
I think the bx is better than the nex when it comes to customer service, cleanliness and overall items but not always prices
Love the new refurbished change but its hard to find certain items.
Easy to access, pretty well stocked. Ive never had any issues at this store.
The most redundant building on the joint Base, because the Navy exchange is far superior in terms of selection convenience and logic of layout.
Being.prolior service military I understand that this is not a mall. It is a PX, and as far as PXs go its good.
Quieter and smaller than the Navy one. Good for when you just want to pick a few things up and avoid the crowds
2 levels. Has basic necessities with some extras. Good for a quick trip to the store. Wish they hadnt changed their hours. Now they close earlier.
If you are military this is a great place to shop for many if not all your home needs. Everything from pots and pans to major appliances, furniture to home tv and audio all tax free.Dont forget about the Commisary!!
I shop here at least once a week. You can find gifts for everyone who love Hawaii products.
My father retired from the army, which explains why we used to frequently shop there together as a family. In order to enter, however, you must have a valid military ID.
I like the redesign of the place, its refreshing, now AAFES, need to get onboard with the scratch card like NEX, and MCX
While this place is not as big as the lovely mall at Pearl Harbor, its not as crowded because of it. I also seem to find what Im looking for more often here than I do at the NEX unless its something electronic.
Great place to shop for military personnel need military ID or DoD ID
Store is very organized. Check out lines arent long. Store isnt crowed and its clean.
