I was suprised by how small the whole operation was!

For such a small retail shop and workshop, they sure have made a name for themselves.

Compared to the Yokohama store (which I visited last year), the Santa Fe Springs store is tiny!

Yep, but that may have something to do with the origin of the new owner :wink:

Dean Moon did well in the self promotion game when it counted (50's and 60's) and did indeed build it up, bigger than probably what it is now. If it wasn't for Shige Moon would have dropped off the face of the earth...
