They knocked down the original, wonderfully wacky and tacky International Market Place and put up a corporate monstrosity in its place. I recommend avoiding the overpriced stores. However, it has some great restaurants (3rd level), and Kona Coffee Purveyors, the best coffee shop on the island (street side, Kuhio Avenue).

This Goodwill store is adjacent to the island's more exclusive neighborhoods, so the items tend to be more stylish and in better condition. Many fashionistas and clothes hounds shop here (although they wouldn't admit it).
