The Tastiest Music in Town

"The Wherehouse, whose parent company was headquartered at first in Gardena and later in Harbor Gateway, established its large store at 3832 Sepulveda Boulevard in the shopping center on the southwest corner of Hawthorne and Sepulveda boulevards as its flagship store.
"The chain opened its first six stores, including the Sepulveda store in Torrance, in 1970. The Torrance store would expand to 12,200 square feet in 1985. It stocked a large selection of new vinyl and CDs, as well as videos in its later years, and, near the end of its run, used music and video titles.
"It didn't take long for another competitor to move into the shopping center."

Sam Gnerre in a 2016 Daily Breeze article writes that "[n]ot too long ago, record stores dotted the South Bay retail landscape."
