Regency Westlake Village Twin announced via Facebook yesterday that its final day of operation is Monday, January 17th. It has operated for 23 years. Sad to see a small boutique theater like this close its doors. Let’s see what’s next for this location at 4711 Lakeview Canyon Road, Westlake Village in the County Line Shopping Center.
MOVIE THEATERS IN AND AROUND THE CONEJO VALLEY AND GREATER VENTURA COUNTY
The Disney Store at The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks will be closing by September 15th. Disney will be closing a number of its stores through year-end as it focuses on ecommerce and focuses on its Disney stores at Target stores.
Office Depot at Moorpark Road and Hillcrest Drive in Thousand Oaks is closing its doors and has commenced a store closing sale. Sadly, this is of no big surprise, as Office Depot has closed hundreds of locations over the last five years as consumers migrate towards online shopping.
In its place will be a Grocery Outlet store. Date TBA.
Burlington at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks will be permanently closing its doors July 23rd.
Burlington Coat Factory (now just Burlington) opened at this 85,000 sq ft location in September 2010.
No word from Janss Marketplace about what’s next for this location. But I can tell you that MB2 Raceway has stated on its website since February that it will be relocating to Janss Marketplace. We shall see!
Former home of The Open Book Store at The Oaks shopping mall.
The Open Book Store on the 2nd floor of The Oaks mall closed its doors on March 1st, but they indicate they will be relocating elsewhere, possibly in the mall, or possibly elsewhere (one CVG Facebook commenter said he heard they will be reopening near Trader Joe’s on Moorpark Road).
This store opened its doors on August 29, 2014 with an eclectic mix of deeply discounted books, including vintage and out of print books. A unique store in this day and age that has been loved by many.
Its sister store, the $5 or Less Bookstore at 2880 Cochran St, Simi Valley, is still open. www.fivedollarbookstore.com
The Las Posas Emporium gift and card shop at the Las Posas Plaza, 528 Las Posas Road in Camarillo has closed its doors after operating for 50 years.

Tuesday Morning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 27th as a result of the financial strain placed on its business due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it will continue to operate as it moves through the bankruptcy process, certain underperforming stores will be closed. They plan to emerge from bankruptcy in early fall 2020.
The Camarillo, Ventura, Granada Hills and Woodland Hills stores currently are NOT slated for closing. The Pasadena and Culver City are on the store closure list.
The original Camarillo Lassen's Natural Foods on Pickwick Ave in Camarillo closed its doors in late February. Oda and Hilmar Lassen were Danish immigrants, coming to America in 1951, bringing four children, two suitcases a trunk and $50. They had three more children in America, and became citizens in 1960. They moved from San Fernando to Camarillo in 1964. This first store opened in 1971 and the rest is history. There are now 11 Lassens locations. www.lassens.com
