My specialty is making collages that feature usually lesser talked about things from the past. In one of them, I put in a Best Products store. I'm kind of amazed with all sorts of 80s and 90s stuff having made a comeback in recent years, nobody's brought up Best Products

My mom used to take me to Carrows when I was a few months old, still can't remember what did Carrows looked like.

It looked like a square building with a giant roof. There used to be two in town. One on North Lancaster, and then there was one in South Salem on Commercial Street. The South Salem one became a Chalet ('member that chain? I 'member) and then it was Buster's Barbecue for a few years. Now it's Venti's last I checked.

As of December 2022 and as of my writing this, there is only 1 Carrows location left in Cerritos, California. The rest have all ceased to be

@@NeurospicyBitch88 I have been to the Carrows in Cerritos. I am kind of surprised that is the last one standing in California. It’d be sad if the last one closes down.

@@AndysRetailExploration It likely will considering Shari's has pretty much phased out the chain at this point

[@NeurospicyBitch88]

@@AndysRetailExploration On top of Shari's slowly phasing Carrows out completely, the Carrows website has been shut down. That right there is a tell-tale sign that Carrows won't be around much longer at this point. Hope the citizens of Cerritos enjoy it while they can
