Mom & Pop Businesses

Moze Guitars

One of the best things about strolling through downtown La Mesa is discovering all of the mom & pop businesses. Some of them, like Yardage Town, have been here forever. Others are new, and as you walk by and peek into their stores, you hope they can survive the tough retail climate. For them, it comes down to customer service. One place relatively new to La Mesa is Moze Guitars. For years, it was located in the College Area, and recently moved to downtown. I frequent Moze Guitars, and it's a perfect example of the kind of business you don't mind going out of your way to: friendly, knowledgable service with great people who work there.
