About Us

As of October 1, 2013, Marukai Hawaii Co. Ltd. has become a part of the Don Quijote Group.
The Don Quijote Company Limited business model is based on "Big Convenience and Discount Store".

Marukai Hawaii Co, Ltd. entered the U.S. market in 1965 as a wholesaler of Japanese general merchandise
and Marukai branded Japanese foods in Hawaii. In 1987, the company closed its wholesale business and
opened its first retail store, Marukai Wholesale Mart. It was Hawaii's first and only warehouse-style
discount market focusing on Japanese and Asian products.

Marukai's mission is to perpetuate the Japanese culture for future generations. It is an inclusive mission,
welcoming everyone to shop, to experience the fullness of Japanese traditions and to appreciate the
flavors and tastes of Japanese foods.

As we move forward as a part of the Don Quijote Group, Marukai will provide our customers the very best
shopping experience through our sincere customer service as our slogan is we always put the
"Customer First".
