I felt that the display of it all was unnecessary and giving a conjuring type of vibe. If they want to sell vintage religious items, whether Catholic or ANY other religion, it shouldn't be displayed in the way they have in my opinion.

Vincent went out of his way to get this information by encouraging me to shoot the Hive phone number a pic via text message, he then forwarded it to someone at the two neighboring stores (Retro & The Halloween shop, unsure of the official name). Thanks for the hustle! Seems the owner or hiring manager really knows how to pick a swell staff for all three locations on the block! I'll chime into the Hive if I need to get something oversized or something for the men in my life!

My youngest was so excited to visit this specialty store -- we arrived full of anticipation. We…read morepatiently waited while the only available employee finished helping another customer, which was completely understandable. When it was our turn, my son asked about the LEGO sets he had brought in and whether there was any trade-in value for them. However, before the employee could respond, another customer walked in and the two began chatting in Spanish. The conversation continued for a good two minutes, with no acknowledgment of my son or the fact that we had been waiting. For a child who was genuinely excited about this visit, being overlooked like that was really disheartening -- and honestly, it was frustrating for me as well. We left without getting any help. We truly wanted to support this local business, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively. As it stands, though, it's unlikely we'll return.

So I found this store while flicking through a JPy magazine. It looked interesting enough that I…read morewanted to make the trip from Cerritos to Torrance just to check it out. Yupp whole 25 miles of it. Here's the story of that trip. I woke up on a Saturday morning to leave for Torrance. Admittedly, halfway to Torrance I had my doubts. It is a really far place and even if I have lived in Torrance its really out of my way. But I figured I'm halfway there already and I needed to satisfy my curiosity! I get there and its located in a small plaza with other business establishments. I found it quite odd for a clothing store so chic to be in the middle of restaurants and other stores. But that's just me. I went inside the store and I was the only person inside. There was one girl who didn't even bother to say hi to me or offer to help which was very disappointing. How hard could it be to ask the only person in the store right? Service aside, it was a stunningly beautiful store. I really loved the rustic, vintage layout of the store. I even loved the small dressing room in the corner surrounded with the brick walls. So ingenious! It made me feel at ease browsing around the shop. They did carry some good high end brands not jut for womens but more mens too. I saw Current Elliott jeans, Tom Ford sunglasses, Jurlique Skin care, Tocca Perfume, Toms, just to name a few. Everything was well made including the accessories. Even their own line of La Chou Chou clothing was very well made and they're not that expensive to boot! The only downside is, there's really not a ton of selection. And what they have in the front in terms of sizes are what they only have left. It was really too bad because I was determined (desperate maybe?) to get something from this store. But all my sizes were gone. And I don't know if all the sizes were gone but I noticed they seem to carry jeans in the smaller sizes. In the end though, I left the store empty handed. I was very disappointed and frankly sad. I expected more but the store fell short. Would I come back to make the trip again? Probably not. But if I'm in the area I'll definitely drop by. I saw some cute accessories that I want to go check out again. And who knows they might have more clothes in stock. Plus, as I was leaving the plaza, I saw some Japanese restaurants with Okononami Yaki and a pastry shop right next to it. So yay for me. I guess that means my trip hasn't ended yet! :]

There were two gentlemen in there, one was stringing a racquet. They don't have a huge selection, but we looked around and the guy asked how he could help us. I said I just needed some grip and what kind and color they had. He showed me a couple and I said it was just for my son's racquet, so he showed one to me and said it was a little cheaper. I appreciate that honesty and that he didn't try to upsell me. I bought the grip and was on my way, and it was great customer service. I would definitely go back there, because I felt they had expertise in the questions I asked them (in addition to the grip), and they made the time to answer them and make me feel welcomed.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Beach Tennis shop in Lomita, and I must say, their level of…read moreexpertise and helpfulness truly impressed me. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly welcome, and it was evident that the staff here are seasoned professionals in the world of tennis. The team at Beach Tennis demonstrated a deep knowledge of the sport, and they were more than willing to share their expertise with me. They patiently answered all my questions and provided valuable insights into choosing the right equipment, from rackets to accessories. Their willingness to take the time to understand my needs and preferences made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. What impressed me the most about my experience at Beach Tennis Shop in Lomita was their commitment to troubleshooting any issues I had, especially considering my struggles with tennis elbow. They took the time to understand the challenges posed by my tennis elbow and patiently addressed any concerns I had related to it. Together, we explored different options, tried out various rackets with features designed to mitigate the risk of exacerbating my condition, and discussed potential adjustments to optimize my equipment for minimal strain on my arm. Their dedication to helping me find the ideal solutions, taking into account my specific condition, was evident throughout the process. Not only will they help you through your specific issues, but they will deliver a consistent, quality, stringing every time. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, this shop is a haven for tennis enthusiasts seeking top-notch service and expertise in every aspect of the game. I'm convinced that Beach Tennis is the best Tennis shop in the South Bay, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach area.

They have jewelry, books, electronics, clothing, you name it. You never know what you'll find here, and it is always evolving.

I've come to this location before when it was Pete Martin to get my racket restrung and I remembered they had a good selection of rackets. So off to this location I go. When I walked in, I was greeted by Tony. I told him the type of racket I had and he suggested the Wilson Blade. And luckily for me, they had one I could demo. I did come back to demo another racket and this time was greeted by Gee. She suggested I demo the Yonex Percept 97 or the Babalot Pure Drive. I tried out the Yonex racket. In the end, I went with what I was used to. Had to go Wilson. Lol. There demo program is pretty cool. If I remember it correctly, It's $20 to demo a racket for 5 days. And in those 5 days you can come back and demo other rackets that they have. If you decide to purchase a racket at the end of the 5 days, they will deduct $20 from the price of the racket. Service: Everyone was really friendly. Love how this is a family run business. Parking: Never had an issue finding parking. I did pass the parking lot the first time I rolled here though. Lol. Will I be back? Of course! Definitely will come back if I need to get my racket restrung. I'm also looking to get a second Wilson Blade.
