Recent Business Closures
Downtown Ventura's charm has always been its local businesses, the restaurants, shops, and experiences you can't find anywhere else. Since the street closure, that has been changing.
The following businesses have closed, moved, or announced plans to do so, specifically citing the closure as a key reason:
-
Latitudes
-
Limon y Sal
-
Nature's Grill
-
Passport Habits
-
Perianos
-
Snapper Jacks
-
The Refill Shoppe
-
Throwback Junction
-
Tristology
Every closure makes downtown a little quieter and a little emptier. Without action, there may not be much left to save.
