The two largest fresh produce and general food outlets in Majuro are K&K Island Pride Supermarket in Delap, and Payless Supermarket in Uliga south of the Court House. Both stores carry some local produce and also bring in fresh vegetables by plane and ship. If the fresh produce shelves are looking a little bare, ask one of the staff when the next shipment is due. Island Pride has a smaller store in Long Island. All these stores carry an extensive range of canned, bottled and dried goods from the United States, Australia and Asia. They also carry US and Australian wines, beers and liquor.
K&K ONLINE SHOPPING:
The K&K Island Pride supermarket is linked to a website where people can pay for products online and the person the goodies are intended for can pick up the goods at the wholesale department. Here’s the link to Pacific Island Trade.
Ez Price in Uliga has some great canned and dried food bargains and is a great place to buy cans of extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil, pasta and other good-for-you products. EZ Price prices seem to be some of the best in town on many products. There are a number of Asian stores on island that also carry fresh produce as well as a variety of other products, many not so easy to define unless you can read Chinese, Korean, or whichever language they are in. These include Cost Price in Uliga (look for the bright yellow building with a mural of the reef on the northern side) and Formosa in Uliga and Delap.
If you want to buy food in larger quantities, K&K Island Pride Supermarket and Pacific Basin Payless both have wholesale divisions.
For smaller quantities, scattered around the island are a number of ‘mom and pop’ and smaller Asian stores that generally carry a mix of canned and packet food, household items, and clothes. These are mostly patronized by locals.
MISCo store in Uliga is a great place to buy local bananas, as is Lucky Store next to the College of the Marshall Islands. The gas station Ace’s One Stop, near the capital building, carries excellent New Zealand wines as well as powdered milk and a small range of other groceries. It also has coolers of fresh fish (and sometimes lobster) outside the main door.
Wholesale Stores
The two most obvious wholesale stores are K&K Island Pride in Delap and Payless in Uliga. Both have entrances that face the main road. I recommend that you check to find out how much of a price break you will receive.
