With the business changing hands the quality of merchandise and staffing took a real dive. I was never able to purchase higher ticket items there but was always able to find small gifts and cards and whatnot. I have been mourning the loss of Plaza for a while.

As a person with a legitimate day job, I was never able to shop there on a Humboldt wage. I did enjoy having the store around though, and lot’s of friends have worked there over the years. Could closure of shops like these be the canary in the coal mine for our biggest industry? The cost of PG&E never goes down…

Way overpriced. I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Shopping locally gets to be extremely expensive…why do you think all the dope growers are shopping at Costco?

Overpriced wares that many cannot afford. Great store but when it comes to keeping the lights on at home or a super expensive sofa from PD the choice is clear.

Yes, they close and they don’t come back. This is a real loss.

I’m sorry to hear this. When the McKinleyville store closed, I thought they were just consolidating – tightening things up. But there was obviously more to it than that. If I needed to buy someone a gift, I always knew that I could find something nice at Plaza Design.
