We remain open to share the space for the community.

Posted by Keiko Shinomoto on

We are deeply saddened by the wildfires affecting our beautiful Los Angeles community. These ongoing fires have brought immense challenges to many, including our customers, friends, and neighbors. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the brave first responders—firefighters, paramedics, and volunteers—working tirelessly to protect lives and property. Your dedication inspires us all.

Please know that our thoughts and support are with everyone impacted. We WILL REMAIN OPEN with our regular hours, welcoming you without any expectations. Whether you need a moment of respite or a comforting space, we hope TGS can be a place of safety and rest for all in need.

With care,
Keiko and Taku Shinomoto
Co-owners of Tortoise General Store
