Cerritos highlight
Major retail
Home to Los Cerritos Center, a 1.3 million-square-foot super-regional shopping mall that opened in 1971, and the Cerritos Auto Square, claimed to be the world's largest automobile retail center.
Los Cerritos Center opened on September 1, 1971, as a super-regional shopping mall in southeastern Los Angeles County. The center spans 1,367,000 square feet across 184 stores, with anchor tenants including Macy's, Nordstrom, Dick's Sporting Goods and Harkins Theatres. It remains the most financially successful shopping mall in the Southeast Los Angeles region, drawing shoppers from Los Angeles and Orange County with retailers like Apple, ZARA, Lululemon and MAC, alongside dining options like the Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's and North Italia.
At 10903 Auto Square Drive, the Cerritos Auto Square occupies a unique position in the region's economy. Founded in 1979, it represents itself as the world's largest automobile retail center, featuring 29 import and domestic brand dealerships under one management. The concentration of automotive retail generates significant revenue for the city and serves as a major regional shopping destination where households can compare and purchase vehicles in one location.
Retail concentrations like these make a city a place where major household purchases happen—homes, vehicles, furnishings and education. Families who are accumulating assets in one place benefit from reviewing their insurance at the same time, so that coverage keeps pace with what they have built and what they are responsible for.
