Your Online Guide to the Best Local Businesses in Hawaii!
With a vibrant year-round business community led by a diverse set of owners and managers, you are sure to find a local business listed on Hawaii Thrives to meet your needs.
When Hawaii Thrive began, we sought to encompass the “Shop Local” movement with something more – the valued tradition of Ohana.
So, our name represents more than just a list of businesses.
Hawaii Thrive is a call to action for businesses, residents, organizations, and tourists to support our local economy and community.
When you shop at a local independently owned business:
68% of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays within the community.
Even local chains reinvest 43% of their revenue back into the local economy.
Shopping local helps create jobs, sustain families, and support community initiatives.
Help us celebrate Hawaii’s community and culture by shopping at locally owned businesses.
