Let us take some of the stress out of your holiday entertaining.
Order your holiday cakes and pies, pastries and breads, coffee and flowers from The Corner Store. We’ll be taking orders until Sunday, December 20 for our delicious and decadent selection of holiday cakes and pies from La Mousse French Bakery. Ask to see the order book when you drop by.
You can also order your holiday breads and we will bake them on Christmas Eve morning or you can pick them up and bake them at home. We proudly feature artisan breads fro La Brea Bakery and can have your French dinner rolls and baguettes ready for you at your convenience. Don’t forget to order by Thursday, December 17.
How about a large cornucopia spilling out festive holiday flowers on to your table, a flower ring with candles, fresh garlands of pine or Christmas wreaths and poinsettias? We can do that for you, too! Remember to order by December 17.
Do you hear Santa’s Elves?…Save the date! December 18 for our Third Annual “Miracle on 37th Street.” This year’s theme is A Winter Wonderland and we promise you and yours a good time. Start out with a free cup of eggnog and a snowy visit with Santa and his elves. Have your picture taken on Santa’s lap and tell him how good you have been this year. Pictures can be purchased for a small donation to Clean San Pedro and the Fort MacArthur Museum. Finish the evening with Christmas caroling for our neighbors and friends.
The Corner Store turned 62 years old this July and isn’t it nice to know that, as other neighborhood markets have disappeared over the years for one reason or another, The Corner Store is still operating as a deli/market? Only now, better than ever with our kitchen in full swing serving up the best ciabatta cheeseburgers in the land and hand-scooped malts and milkshakes in a variety of flavors including Mango, Espresso, Oreo Cookie, Raspberry, Strawberry and Peanut Butter.
We have a great menu of hot and cold sandwiches, Vienna Beef hotdogs, bistro soups and salads, steel cut oatmeal, breakfast bagel sandwiches, pastries and croissants baked fresh every morning. Take a look at our wide selection of decadent desserts – from Crème Brulee Cheese bars to Mini Chocolate Flourless Cakes and fresh-baked Devonshire cookies. We continue to carry the English line offering steak and mushroom pies, sausage rolls, bangers, Vegemite and Marmite and a nice selection of English teas. We serve them piping hot or over ice, as well as by the box. We also have propane tanks in case your barbecue runs out.
Stop by our gift shop featuring 15 local artists and authors including handcrafted jewelry, purses, cat rocks and much more. Check out our vintage candy selection. We know that everyone needs a pair of wax lips or some Nickle Nips. How about some old time toys to stuff those stockings with? Whoopie cushions and whizzers will be a sure delight on Christmas morning. The perfect gift is here — Corner Store T-shirts are now in stock! A loaf of fresh-baked bread with a nice bottle of Merlot from our wine section would make a nice gift, too.
This year has been especially tough for all of us and we give our heartfelt thanks to all of you who continue to support The Corner Store. We look forward to a new year filled with fresh ideas and with the same old-time feelings that remind us of days gone by. We will continue to work to give our store that feeling of a home-away-from-home community gathering place, and to bring warmth and joy to this holiday season.
Don’t forget to join us on December 18 for our Miracle on 37th Street!
