little tokyo’s american apparel makes its move
This blog has moved to Twitter! Check out my twitter feed for the latest restaurant, retail, and cultural news in the neighborhood.
Next time you’re in Little Tokyo looking for your next “Legalize LA” accessory or color-happy hoodie, don’t head to the usual spot.
American Apparel has relocated the operations of its Downtown retail store, moving from the corner location at 2nd and Central to a larger, more visible spot next to Kimski Makes inside the Hikari Apartments.
The move across the street occurred on Monday.
According to a company rep, American Apparel will retain use of its former location, possibly turning it into a clothing store for infants and toddlers.
No official plans have been made, but local parents who’d like to have a place to keep their little ones on the cutting-edge of cool, let your voice be heard in the comments!

Now we’ve just got to start making more babies…
Ha! That could be a problem for some of us…
I saw the storefront open for business this morning. Looks great! Nice to see these storefronts finally occupied. Tremendous visual improvement. I can’t wait for that restaurant adjacent to Kimski to open.
Again, a more up-to-date photo would be good.
I got a 1 yr old nephew and 3 yr old niece plus 15 other nieces/nephews, my 5 older straight brothers are very “productive” i mean fertile lol.
i don’t have any kids to buy AA stuff for. maybe if I was narcissistic and not culturally / globally aware, I would have some, but I don’t.
Mdogg, it is called Darwinian selection. Your non-participation in perpetuating your gene pool is greatly appreciated by me and, ultimately, my kids. Thanks.
i love american apparel and kids (kinda.) that comment was actually just really subtle commentary on my FAVORITE BLOG COMMENT in the history of blogging http://www.angelenic.com/751/inside-american-apparel-4000-downtown-employees-and-counting/#comment-10170
mdogg really likes to drop the phrase “narcissistic and not culturally / globally aware” anytime american apparel comes on this site
whoops, now i feel dumb
I completely misunderstood your comment Mdogg. I retract my statement.
