Mid-City in miniature

Local shops are printed in full colour. Chains are left off; switch them on in the key to see them as white blocks, like the context buildings in an architect’s model. Height is how many locations each operator runs.

Owned by
Height = locations the operator runs, from verified research or county health permits. Each story doubles the count; tops out at 10. Dashed = operator not identified, so height unknown.

Local operator on record: no chain signal, and an operator that runs 1–9 locations and is based in LA County. “No chain signal” alone doesn’t prove local ownership. Tap a kind to hide or show it. Search finds chains even while they’re off.

Owned by shows only places that are certified, or whose owners say so themselves. Most places haven’t said, so they show as unknown, not no.
