Additional Menchie’s Closures in the Los Angeles Area

 

Menchie's Westchester, CA

Fro-yo girl here. As I suspected, some of the froyo shops that were “temporarily closed” appear to now be permanently closed. Since the shops are closed, it’s difficult to get updates. But here are a few in the Los Angeles area that appear to now be permanently closed.

Menchie’s Ocean Park, Santa Monica

I’ve been trying to go to Menchie’s Santa Monica on Ocean Park Blvd. for the past couple of months. The shop was temporarily closed though and now it is permanently closed on Yelp. It’s still listed on Menchie’s website. The location opened in 2011.

The most recent post to the Menchie’s Ocean Park Facebook page was on August 4, 2020. The post said, “We are open from 2-9pm Mon-Sun.” The last Yelp update was on June 1, 2020 and the last review was posted in February 2020. The last Google update from the business was on May 29, 2020, when they reopened. Many of the Google reviews for that Menchie’s are actually for Mashti Malone’s. Hmm.

Menchie’s Westchester

Menchie’s Westchester, CA is listed as temporarily closed on the Menchie’s website. Google marks the location as permanently closed, but Yelp does not. The last Yelp review was in September 2020. An October 2020 review mentioned the shop was closed. The last Instagram post was in February 2018. The most recent Google reviews for this location are for Mashti Malone’s again. Strange. Mashti Malone’s shop is not close to the Menchie’s on Ocean Park Blvd. in Santa Monica or the one in Westchester. I think the signs point to it being closed for good. It was close to LAX Airport and opened in 2014.

Menchie’s Redondo Beach

I was in this area last fall and Menchie’s was closed then, even though it was the middle of the day. This location is listed as temporarily closed on the Menchie’s website. Google and Yelp still list it as open. The last Yelp review was in July 2020 but the reviewer wasn’t sure if the shop had closed or not. The last Google review was two months ago. The Iast Instragram post was in 2014. The phone number has been disconnected. The shop opened in 2009 in North Redondo. Update: Someone posted a Yelp review on March 21, 2021. So it reopened??

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
