HK Supermarket Mural on Western Avenue

HK Supermarket Mural on Western Avenue

A small part of the mural on the side of the Korean grocery HK Supermarket on Western Avenue. The Korean hangeul characters are 옷 (clothing), 신발 (shoes) and 향수 (perfume) — items you can buy at HK Super.

Truth be told, their fashion collection is minuscule and so unstylish. People go to HK Super not to buy clothes, but to buy food, which I will vouch for in terms of quality. Check your change though. There’s one cashier who thinks you’re not paying attention.

Address: 124 North Western Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90004
