Magic Johnson Starbucks Closed for good
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on October 25, 2018
The “Magic Johnson” Starbucks in Ladera Heights has closed for good. Magic Johnson brought TGIF, Starbucks and other businesses into the area starting in the mid 1990’s and the store quickly established itself on W. Centinela Ave as a veritable institution of Ladera Heights. Over the past two decades, the area has experienced notable revitalization, with rent increasing along with the number of updated chain stores and shops. In that time, Starbucks added three additional stores in the area including a drive-thru location that is practically just across the street on La Cienega, and a coffee bar inside a Ralph’s across the parking lot. Now, it’s pulling back by closing its flagship location in Ladera.
