Gardena Cinema up for sale after providing decades of movie-going experiences

GARDENA, Calif. (KABC) -- The credits may soon roll on a piece of cinematic history that's been a fixture in Southern California for decades.

The Gardena Cinema is up for sale. It's the last single-screen theater in the South Bay.

We profiled the business back in November during its grand re-opening following the pandemic.

Judy Kim and her family have owned the theater since the 70s, but the business has been struggling. It also has been taking up a lot of the family's time and finances.

Kim says until a buyer is found, the Gardena Cinema is still open and asks people to support them until the very end.
