Hungry travelers who frequent the city's historic rail and bus transit hub now have a new option for snacking and shopping, as Japanese-based convenience retailer Famima!! has just opened their sixth Downtown L.A. location in Union Station.
According to a MarketWatch release, "the Famima!! Union Station store will offer a wide variety of fresh deli items including sandwiches, panini and salads, as well as freshly baked goods, freshly brewed coffee, fried food, snacks, drinks and sundries." They will also stock "a variety of Asian delicacies such as sushi, rice bowls, and Chinese buns as well as candies, snacks and beverages."
If you are stopping by the new store today, tomorrow, or Friday, you can take advantage of their food samplings, prize giveaways, and other specials. The Union Station Famima!! will be open 24 hours.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
