Hi friends! We are continuing our series on local history this week in an episode with John Bagakis, the new owner of The Corner Store which just celebrated its 75th anniversary in July. As new owner he is continuing its legacy as the neighborhood staple in the San Pedro palisades area, not only a place to grab coffee and snacks but he also envisions it someday as a place to have wine, a Mediterranean meal and enjoy live music in the evenings. He shares with us the multiple transitions the store has had over the years and walks us through the transition that's happening now.
We love to see a beloved local business stay in the Pedro family and have a chance to thrive in this new era of transition we embark on.
