Our Retail shop and Rentals are still open for the next few months. Lots of great deals to be had by all. Come on in.
Wed - Sunday regular hours.

Thanks to everyone who came out on a cold and wet New Year's Day for our Annual Paddle and Turkey Chili potluck. We appreciate all the love and support everyone gave us this day and for the last 30 plus years at Jack London Square.

We had planned to close on the 31s of December but plan to remain open for the next couple of months to finish clearing out our inventory and will be open regular business hours. If you didn't make the paddle or potluck please come by. We love seeing everyone and catching up.

We are working on a transition and will keep everyone posted as things progress.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year.

Just a reminder for visitors to our Jack London Sq location.

City of Oakland parking meters will soon be enforced citywide on Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. as part of a larger effort to improve parking access and better support the business community. The change goes into effect Jan. 4 starting with a 30-day warning period.

Free Sunday parking has historical ties to outdated blue laws, which prohibited business activities on Sundays to promote rest and religious observance. Today, Sundays are among the busiest days for businesses such as restaurants, shops and entertainment venues. Updating meter hours helps ensure parking is available when demand is the highest, including weekends.

Parking metering promotes turnover, which helps ensure that high-demand areas have available spaces for visitors — ideally one or two spaces per block. Without metering, drivers often leave their vehicles for an extended period of time, limiting access to high-demand areas for other people.
