I think they were done in by the Expo and high-density redevelopment projects favored by the L.A. City Council. An incredibly ugly “mixed-use” complex has already gone up across the street. Pretty sure that’s what’s slated for the Surfas lot.
According to the LA Times the Culver City shutter is temporary and Surfas is looking for a new location and to re-open soon.
Also working on an online store but I like going into the physical store. One of the only times I don’t use Amazon Prime is to buy kitchen equipment bc I like to touch/feel the products.
