Comics in, gifts out: Store changes afoot at Center Street Promenade in Anaheim
Anaheim’s Center Street Promenade has said goodbye to Home Eco:nomics and Burning Desire and hello to Pop! Comics.
Home Eco:nomics, a small shop known for its gift items, closed earlier this month. Its goods will be sold at the Packing House and the CAMP in Costa Mesa.
Burning Desire, a cigar shop next door, has also closed.
Replacing the two stores is Pop! Comics. The comic book had its soft opening Wednesday in the spot previously occupied by Burning Desire. It will extend into the space previously occupied by Home Eco:nomics by Feb. 13.
Comic books sold at the store range from $1 to collectibles at a couple hundred dollars. The store will also hold events for comic book lovers.
Pop! Comics previously had two stores but closed them and opened at Center Street Promenade to take advantage of the area’s foot traffic, owner Thomas Gaul said.
“It’s a happening area,” he said. “Both of our existing stores did not get a lot of foot traffic. I live near here and see the traffic flow and it seemed like a perfect fit.”
Pop! Comics is located at 203 W. Center St.
