Auto Center Approved for Imperial Highway
A Pep Boys automotive center finally has been given approval to open in the city under recent City Council action.
The company has been trying for years to open shop in La Habra, but its choices of location drew complaints from residents.
The company’s latest proposal places a shop at 125 W. Imperial Highway, a spot that city officials called ideal for the business.
Construction will begin soon, and council members said that once the project is complete, it will improve the area.
The 18,560-square-foot business promises to provide 35 jobs and will have more landscaping and parking than required by the city. The shop also is 7,764 square feet smaller than the maximum allowed size.
