The Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw Plaza Walmart first opened January 2003 to acnhor the Caldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. The store was known as the art deco Walmart because it preserved some of the historic elements of the Broadway that was once there, like the spire.
Many interior details also were reminiscent of the 1940s. The remodels was necessary to compete as Target remodeled on La Cienega, adding a grocery store component, Fresh and easy is immennt on Adams and Crenshaw and the Ralphs on Jefferson could soon be a Trader Joes (according to Herb Wesson's office).
