Santa Monica, West Hollywood locations closing

By Sam Catanzaro

Aahs, the company behind the popular gift and costume store with locations throughout Los Angeles, including in Westwood Village and Santa Monica, is closing some of their Aahs! Gift Stores throughout Southern California, including in Santa Monica and West Hollywood. The Aahs! in Westwood Village will remain open, according to the store. 

The company, when reached for comment, would not divulge why they are closing the gift stores and did not give a date for when locations throughout Southern California are closing.

Aahs’ other three companies, Aahs Signs, Aahs Corporate Awards and Aahs Halloween Club, will remain in business.

Aahs has been in business since 1981. The company’s gift stores are popular destinations for shoppers looking for costumes, party supplies, toys, novelties and more. With upcoming closures, clearance sales are underway at the gift stores.

Editor’s note: a previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the Aahs! Westwood Village location was closing.
