Halloween is this Saturday, October 31, 2015. If you live in Redondo Beach, CA and still need a costume, there is a family owned costume shop that needs to be on your list of places to visit. Located on Artesia Blvd., just one block west from Inglewood Ave, Aaardvark offers a wide selection of vintage clothing, costumes, and accessories. As a one-stop-shop for costumes, Aaardvark has everything you need to achieve your look, no matter what type of theme party you’re attending. Along with costumes, you’ll find jewelry, hosiery, shoes, and other difficult-to-find accessories. There is even makeup, wigs, mustaches, fake eyelashes and colored hair spray to complete your transformation.
Aaardvak started in 1972 as a vintage store, offering a great selection of vintage clothing before it was trendy. Over the years, Aaardvark adapted to their customers’ requests and started offering a wider variety of costumes and accessories. The shop has been in its current location in Redondo Beach since 2006, and LA County locals are still able to find vintage clothing and accessories, along with fabulous costumes.
One of the perks of a year-round costume store is that after Halloween, you can still find costumes for other special events. This holiday season, remember to swing by Aaardvark for specialty clothing and accessories. The shop carries an impressive selection of ugly Christmas sweaters which will be perfect for holiday parties.
If you purchase a costume at Aaardvark which you would like to send to an out-of-town friend, head over to the AIM Mail Center locations in Redondo Beach where the friendly professionals can package and ship your costumes. They can even compare overnight rates between UPS shipping and FedEx shipping to help you find the best rate and service for you.
Since 88% of the private companies in the U.S. employ 19 or fewer employees (Source: U.S. SBA), we at AIM Mail Centers believe local businesses are vital to the health of the U.S. economy. Therefore, AIM Mail Centers is pleased to feature Aaardvark as our Featured Local Neighborhood Business and encourages locals to buy from local businesses.
