Amoeba Music has announced that after 19 years, its iconic Sunset Boulevard location has permanently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. A statement on their website reads, "This is heartbreaking for us. We never envisioned not being able to give the store the send-off it deserves, to give you all a chance to say goodbye."
The Amoeba Music twitter profile mentions that they are devastated to have to close due to the impact from the Covid-19 outbreak.
According to a story in Billboard Magazine, "Amoeba had already planned to shutter its Sunset Boulevard location permanently this fall after developer GPI, which bought the building for $34 million in 2015, announced it would be moving forward with its plans to erect a 26-story mixed-use complex on the site. The new Hollywood Boulevard location is just two blocks east and two blocks north, directly next door to the Fonda Theatre." Comment on this store below.
