Street Corner Convenience Chain Opens New Store on The Strand
The "Urban Superette" Features an Ocean View Bar and Full-Service Rare Earth Coffee Bar
Residents and visitors to Hermosa Beach have a new option for everyday essentials and libations with a view of the ocean as Street Corner, a convenience chain with locations in 19 states, has opened a new location on The Strand, in the building formerly occupied by the iconic “Poop” Deck Bar.
Along with a soon-to-open location in Santa Clarita, this brings to 10 the number of Street Corner stores in California, overtaking New Jersey as the chain’s most franchised state.
In addition to the usual offerings one might expect, the 2,200 square foot, “urban superette”-style store in Hermosa Beach will feature a full-service Rare Earth Coffee bar with barista and, come March, wine, spirits and beer on tap on an outdoor patio. That area will carry on the tradition of The Deck, which shuttered in the summer of 2021 after a 65-year run.

“We’re very excited to open up in such a vibrant area as The Strand,” said Yaron Barami, store owner. “There’s always something happening here, people are always having fun, and we look forward to not just catering to their needs, but giving them a quality experience every time they stop in, whether it’s for sunscreen, a sandwich, locally brewed coffee or a glass of burgundy while watching the sunset.”
Barami, from Orange County, owns another Street Corner location at Pierside South Apartments in Oceanside.
