It is located south of the [[Interstate 605\|San Gabriel River Freeway]] and [[California State Route 91\|Artesia Freeway]] junction. Since September [[1971]], the Los Cerritos Center was and is an integral part of Cerritos' tax revenue. The mall is the City's second largest retail-revenue source, producing $561 per square foot ($368 million total) in sales in 2006. The tax revenue generated from the Los Cerritos Center for its host city totals to approximately $3.7 million a year. [http://www.ci.cerritos.ca.us/stateofthecity07.pdf] The facility is managed by [[The Macerich Company]]. ~~'''Kirana Gharana''' is one of the most prolific [[Hindustani]] [[khayal]] [[gharana]]s. Some of its more famous performers include [[Abdul Karim Khan]] and [[Abdul Wahid Khan]].~~ ==History== ~~This musical style is based on (and most famous for) slow, elongated notes to emphasize serenity.~~ The Cerritos Redevelopment Agency initially invested $30 million for the development of the Los Cerritos Center area. The 100-acre shopping area built at Gridley Road and South Street was developed by Ernest W. Hahn, Inc. in September 1971 with the Phase I opening of the corridor from [[The Broadway]] department store (currently [[Macy's]]) to [[Ohrbach's]] (currently [[Mervyn's]]) in addition to having an initial 150 specialty stores. City council members and the then current “Miss Cerritos” were kept busy with ribbon cutting ceremonies. Phase II followed in [[1972]] with the opening of the wing from Ohrbach's to [[Sears, Roebuck and Company\|Sears]]. In [[1981]], Phase III welcomed the opening of [[Nordstrom]] and its wing. In November [[1993]] Phase IV was completed when the Palm Court Cafes debuted in the Center with 14 eateries. [http://www.ci.cerritos.ca.us/library/history/chapter7.html] At its opening, the Los Cerritos Center was one of the area's first shopping malls and was noted for its high quality maintenance and complete climate-controlled environment. ~~==External links==~~ [http://www.musicalnirvana.com/hindustani/kirana_gharana.html Musical Nirvana] The original goal of the center was to bring thousands of dollars of sales tax revenue to the City. In its first four years, the city of Cerritos' retail sales grew tenfold, topping over $207 million in 1974. ==Today== ~~{{music-genre-stub}}~~ The most recent design (Phase V) was completed in [[1994]] and includes three themed corridors. At this time, skylights were added to take advantage of the Southern California sunshine, and marble and stone were added to the walkways, along with benches and landscaping. "The Avenue" houses merchandise, a movie theatre and services for the family, "The Grand Hall" holds more upscale fashion stores and boutiques, and "The Garden" focuses on specialty shops in entertainment as well as the Palms Court Cafe food court. Presently, the City is in the talks with the Center for a complete facelift of the mall which will include a new luxury-clothing anchor (to replace [[Robinsons-May]]), an outdoor [[lifestyle center]] alongside Interstate 605, an expanded Nordstrom, additional wings and a parking structure with a groundbreaking set for [[2007]] and completion in early [[2008]]. [http://www.shoploscerritos.com/about_us] [http://www.ci.cerritos.ca.us/stateofthecity07.pdf] Realizing the importance of multiculturalism and diversity in the region today, the Los Cerritos Center, in conjunction with the City of Cerritos, is home to the Festival of Friendship held every February. Cultural booths, a 5K walk, and performances are held yearly with the goal of reaching out to the various communities and groups that comprise the center's diverse [[demography\|demographic]]. In [[2006]], 10.2 million shoppers visited the mall with [[December 23]]rd marking the biggest day of the year with 84,935 visitors. The Los Cerritos Center attracts about 30,000 people a day and is the most financially successful mall in the [[Gateway Cities\|Southeast Los Angeles]] region.
