Anzen Hardware, an 80-year-old business, has reopened in Little Tokyo after shutting down in 2023. The store is now under new ownership, with Philip Hirose and his mother Jo Ann Maehara Hirose at the helm. They are working to find the store's place in a changing neighborhood.

The business is trying to adapt to a decline in demand for hardware tools. To do so, Anzen Hardware is hosting unusual events such as drawing classes and plant sales. Further details about the store's reopening and its new direction are available from local sources.
