One of the cool things about hidden gems is that you find them in the most unexpected places. That’s the case with The Green Store. This general store is your one-stop-shop for everything your heart desires. You’ll find quite an assortment of groceries and other goods, as well as some of the best sandwiches in Southern California. But, you won’t find this store in the hubbub of the city. Rather, you’ll find The Green Store tucked away and located in a charming beach town.

The Green Store may have a hole-in-the-wall appearance, but it is a staple in Southern California. This store first opened its doors in 1914 in Hermosa Beach and has been serving customers ever since.
