Longs Drugs

Longs Drugs is a pharmacy in East Honolulu, HI, serving the local community with prescription services, over-the-counter medications, and health and wellness products. Located at 3221 Waialae Ave, the store is part of a network of approximately 70 drugstores across Hawaii, with a longstanding presence on the islands since 1954. The business began in 1938 when the Long brothers established a vision for a drugstore that would serve as a hub for health, community connection, and everyday essentials. Over the decades, Longs Drugs has become a trusted presence in neighborhoods across Oahu and the other Hawaiian islands, known for its consistent service and longstanding role in daily life.

The company’s history traces back to its founding in 1938, when brothers Thomas and Joseph Long created a drugstore model focused on community and wellness. Their first location in downtown Honolulu, though no longer operating, helped lay the foundation for a legacy of service. Today, the store at Ala Moana Shopping Center remains in its original spot, continuing the tradition of accessibility and local connection. Longs Drugs has evolved into more than a retail pharmacy, it is a fixture in daily routines, where generations have shopped for essentials, picked up prescriptions, and shared moments with neighbors.

The business operates on Waialae Ave in East Honolulu, a central corridor on Oahu, and is part of a broader network that serves communities across the island chain. With a customer rating of 4.20, Longs Drugs reflects a reputation for dependability and consistent service in a region where long-term presence and community ties are highly valued. The store continues to support its customers through pharmacy services, in-store promotions, and digital tools like the Longs Drugs app, which helps manage prescriptions and savings.
