Smokemart Waikiki

Smokemart Waikiki in WA is your classic local tobacconist, but with a bit more personality than most. The store’s got quite a decent range of products that keeps the regulars coming back, from your standard cigarettes and smoking accessories to diffusers and small gifts. We’ve heard some visitors actually make the trek from as far as Peel just to grab their favorite items here.

The shop itself is always kept neat as a pin, with everything well-organized and easy to find. While some reckon you might find cheaper smokes at Woolies (about $2 less, apparently), the store makes up for it with their wide selection and convenience. They take all the usual payment methods including cash, card, and EFTPOS, and they’ve even got a click-and-collect service for those who like to plan ahead.

When it comes to the staff, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag if we’re being honest. Some visitors rave about certain team members who go above and beyond, even remembering regular customers’ usual purchases and having them ready to go. These champions of customer service are known for their friendly banter and helpful advice about the best deals. But look, we’ve also heard a few grumbles about service being a bit off sometimes, particularly during busy periods or with click-and-collect orders.

The store keeps pretty decent hours for those who need their supplies. They’re open Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm (except Thursday when they stay open till 9pm), Saturdays from 8am to 5pm, and Sundays from 11am to 5pm. So you’ve got plenty of time to pop in, whether you’re an early bird or need to duck in after work.

The shop’s got a local feel to it, and when you catch them on a good day, the staff are happy to have a yarn while they sort you out. Just remember that like any retail spot, some days are better than others, but overall, it’s a reliable option for your tobacco needs in the Waikiki area.
