"The arena’s arrival last month made it Inglewood’s third major event venue alongside SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum, and while one might expect nearby businesses to thrive from thousands of daily visitors, some owners report the opposite. Several small-business proprietors say the impact has been a net negative: Karolyn Plummer of Sweet Red Peach and others have described adverse effects, and Kenny Taitt of Kenny’s Q BBQ & More reports sales dropped due to ongoing construction. Business owners have appealed to the city for help, and the Inglewood mayor’s office released a statement saying it will try to address traffic and construction issues that have prevented locals and visitors from frequenting small businesses." - Matthew Kang
