Today we've got more Buffums' in Long Beach from Julius Shulman. This is "Job 3260: Hugh Gibbs, Buffums' (Long Beach, Calif.), 1961".



The sign by the door identifies it as Buffums' Marina Sportswear.



There are no interior shots, but we get to see some oil wells on the right of the final image.

The Peninsula Shopping Center was mentioned yesterday by e_r in his post about UCLA's propsed move to Palos Verdes. Here, in an article from Palos Verdes Peninsula News, we can see the groundbreaking for Buffums' sportwear store. The last paragraph says that Buffums' Marina Sportswear store was at Alamitos Bay.
NB. I've rearranged the layout to make it more screen-friendly.

The GSV images up until 2011 show the old Buffums' store.

I'm not sure if the building was remodeled or knocked down and rebuilt. Either way, the arches are gone. I never found an address for Buffums' Marina Sportswear, but the address for CVS is 6265 E 2nd Street.
