Shop Lakewood . . . Stay Lakewood Loyal for the holidays!
Keep track of local bargains during the holiday season at Shop Lakewood’s Facebook site at www.shoplakewood.org. Updated 2-5 times a day, the site is an excellent resource to find local deals and discounts.
The Shop Lakewood…Stay Lakewood Loyal effort, run by the Greater Lakewood Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the City of Lakewood, features all kinds of Lakewood businesses--from large chains to local mom-and-pop shops and professional services. Coupons and special deals span the city’s more than 20 shopping areas--from neighborhood plazas to the regional Lakewood Center mall and “Restaurant Row” on Candlewood Street.
The Shop Lakewood mission is to remind residents that buying in Lakewood helps keep sales tax dollars local and supports Lakewood park programs, law enforcement services, beautiful trees, well-maintained streets and more.
Lakewood Center (L.A. County’s second largest mall) also lists local discounts at www.shoplakewoodcenter.com on its “Sales” page. The site highlights specials (including holiday shopping sales and discounts) for both retail establishments and Restaurant Row. More . . .

Fulfill the holiday wish of a local child in need
Caring Lakewood shoppers filled the Christmas wishes of 934 local kids in need last year. They did it by picking a little paper bear ornament off a "Teddy Bear Tree" and purchasing the affordable gift written on it. The opportunity to make a difference returns to Lakewood Center the weekend of December 7 and 8. The wishes of dozens of local kids will adorn a Teddy Bear Tree in the mall's center court. Rotary Club of Lakewood volunteers, many of them Lakewood business and civic leaders, will help guests choose a paper bear from the tree.
Rotarians will be on hand later to accept the unwrapped gift items returned to the booth. Gifts can also be dropped off at most City of Lakewood facilities during business hours prior to Tuesday, December 10.
