Описание: Supporting small businesses in 2022.

Today we're going to do a business showcase here at Local Fixture out in Whittier, California. We're going to check out the story and talk to Jason, the owner. Come along.

We're here at the local picture out here in Whittier, California. And today we're going to talk to the company owner. Hi, how are you? Good. Good. If you don't mind just introduce yourself quickly.

Yeah, my name is Jason and I'm the owner of Local Fixture. We've been here about seven years.

Great. And what's a little bit of a background that you have? How did you get started?

Yeah. So I'm a resident of Whittier, and we just felt like there was a need for a local gift store where people can find unique gifts. And then a few years after we opened, we also opened up a coffee bar serving specialty coffee.

Awesome. And I noticed that coffee bars right here in the corner. Right. Awesome. So what kind of things? Are you guys still in the coffee shop?

Yeah. So we actually serve Stumptown Coffee out of Oregon. Just a really high-quality coffee. And then we also do donuts as well. And then the store, we sell a variety of gifts. So we're kind of the community gift store. We sell everything from candles to jewelry to things for kids as well. There's almost always, you know, people can always find something for almost anyone.

Right. Do you mind just giving us a little bit of background about yourself? How old are you? What gave you this idea?

Yeah, I'm actually about to turn 44 this year, so like I said, I've been running the store for about seven years now, and inspiration really just came from, you know, stores that we would see in Pasadena, Venice, and just wanting to emulate and give this community something similar to those types of stores that sell out there.

That's good. And lastly, what was the inspiration behind the name that you gave this location?

Yeah, that's a good question, actually. The reason how we came up with the local fixture is interesting is because this building is actually used to be the Edison building. And so when we're trying to just brainstorm on name ideas, you know, obviously we want to do something local. Right. And then when we think about Edison, Thomas Edison, you know, electricity. And then we kind of came up with light fixtures and just the term local fixture being like a local fixture in the community. That's kind of how we came up. That's great.

All right, guys. So come check out the local picture out here in Whittier.
