Have you heard the latest commercial by one of our competitors? I have to say it shocked me and our staff here at Foodland on several levels. First, there was the mentioning of our company and Times specifically by name – something we just don’t do here in Hawaii. But more than that was the insinuation that customers need not shop with us any longer because this competitor simply matched the prices on only a few of the hundreds of items we have on sale every week. We know and hope you do to, that matching a few prices is really not enough to offset all the many other things we offer our customers – like Maika‘i Rewards, earning free products, Hawaiian Miles, and discounts on groceries, excellent service, ending long lines, our great poke, Certified Angus Beef, local produce and more! In my opinion, this mainland competitor simply doesn’t give us local folks much credit for all that we do for you– did you know they are only running this program in Hawaii? Maybe they don’t think we can do math. Because as you know – and many of you have told us -- the savings and value you receive by shopping at Foodland with your Maika‘i Card just can’t be matched or beat. In fact, here are the top ten reasons our customers say they’re loyal to Foodland.

1. Great savings with the Maika‘i Card
2. Hawaiian Miles
3. Local Produce – more than anyone else in the Islands
4. Poke – absolutely the best
5. Fast and friendly checkout – ending long lines!
6. Community programs - from Give Aloha, to Shop for Higher Education, to Share a Holiday Feast and more, which help put over 2 million dollars back into our local community every year
7. Double your money back guarantee on our fresh meat, seafood and produce
8. Free or discounted Maika‘i Product of the Week
9. Value – from ads to in-store savings to Maika‘i specials and more
10. The Foodland Family – who make serving customers the most important thing they do

We don’t believe in playing games, but we do promise we will continually strive to make sure that you not only receive great value and savings, but that you have a positive experience every time you shop with us.
