As San Gabriel Valley businesses look to reopen, some already have - The San Gabriel Valley Tribune

I would see what kind of changes we need to make.”Some local businesses haven’t been as fortunate as Mellini’s. For Steven and Jean Preciado, owners of MD’s Florist in Arcadia, the pandemic completely cut off their businesses’ cash flow. They had to lay off two of their employees.“It’s uneasy not knowing if we’re going to be able to operate our business and maintain our overhead,” Steven Preciado said by phone.So he and his wife can’t wait to open up their flower shop again — just in time for Mother’s Day. Steven Preciado added they will be doing everything by curbside pickup from Saturday and Sunday, May 9-10, then will be offering delivery services after that.But what they really look forward to is returning to full capacity again.“We’re going to give it a tug and push, but it’s up to the government to allow small businesses to do their day-to-day,” Steven Preciado said.Some retail businesses have stayed open during the pandemic, including Dan Nhi Flowers and Gifts in San Gabriel, which reopened on May 1.During the pandemic, An Lam, the flower shop’s owner, said she kept the business open for phone and online orders only. But on May 1, she reopened her shop with social distancing guidelines in place. They’re still offering curbside pick up and delivery.“Everyone needs flowers for Mother’s Day,” she said by phone. “My customers need us.”And at Jeffs Sporting Goods in San Gabriel, co-owner Kevin Jeffs said he got the OK from the city to remain open during the pandemic. Still, business was slow and hours were shortened, so it’s been a struggle.Jeffs said the shop was open to customers as long as they wore masks. He added only a few customers were allowed the store at a time to maintain social distancing.But with people limiting how much they go out, he said the store hasn’t been too busy. He’s waiting for the government to ease social distancing restrictions.“Without customers, there would be no business,” he said. “With the government saying we can’t be open for businesses, how are we supposed to make money?” ... https://www.sgvtribune.com/as-san-gabriel-valley-businesses-look-to-reopen-some-already-have

'Nonessential' businesses close due to coronavirus - Los Angeles Times

Mall closures were announced by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which operates 15 malls in California including Westfield Topanga & the Village in Canoga Park, Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia and Westfield Century City. Advertisement “We have not made this decision lightly, and believe this is in the best interest of protecting our various stakeholders,” said Jean-Marie Tritant, U.S. president of the Paris-based company. “We look forward to reopening these centers in the very near future. In the meantime, we are doing everything possible to make sure that ‘essential’ retail outlets remain accessible.”Also closed were Simon Property Group malls such as Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance and Ontario Mills in Ontario. Taubman Centers Inc. closed malls across the country including the Beverly Center in Los Angeles and the Gardens on El Paso in Palm Desert.Smaller, stand-alone businesses were busy Friday considering their options and wondering whether they would be able to survive in the coming weeks or months. In Eagle Rock, Leanna Lin was figuring out how to turn her predominantly brick-and-mortar retail business into an ecommerce-only operation. She has run Leanna Lin’s Wonderland, “a playful gift shop and art gallery for the young at heart,” since 2010.Less than a week ago she had decided to offer curbside pickups to her customers. Now, going entirely online eliminates the beading and art parties — birthday and otherwise — hosted in the store.“As long as this doesn’t go much further than April 19, I think we can make it,” Lin said.On her Instagram page, which has 13,800 followers, Lin is showcasing items, offering free shipping on purchases of $25 or more and asking customers to buy gift cards.“Please support us online,” one recent post implored. “I promise you it’s just as cute and we’re adding a bunch new things often.” Advertisement One prominent store operator forced to close his Los Angeles shops said he was incensed that big retailers deemed essential such as Costco, Walmart and Target now have the market to themselves to sell nonessential items such as toys, towels and holiday knickknacks that people might otherwise buy at small businesses.“This really bothers me,” said Fraser Ross, owner of two Kitson stores on Robertson Boulevard, who fears, for example, being stuck with surplus Easter stock after he resumes business. His competitors shouldn’t get to sell theirs right now either, he said.“Is that Easter section at Costco getting closed off?” Ross asked rhetorically. “They shouldn’t be able to ring anything unless it’s essential.”Matt Monroe sat inside Turn Zero Games on Friday with the lights off as he waited for a UPS truck to deliver off a shipment to the store he’s owned for seven years.The 38-year-old and his five-member staff had already taken precautions, such as limiting the number of people coming into the Koreatown shop. On any given night before the pandemic, the st... https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-03-20/coronavirus-nonessential-business-closures
