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.
