Everyday Shopping in Malibu
Malibu has a good selection of upscale shopping, but what if you need a sprinkler head or ten pounds of apples? Malibu is home to many celebrities and wealthy families, but residents and visitors still have to shop for everyday necessities. Since Malibu is located along the coast, with a barrier of mountains separating it from LA's suburban and downtown shopping areas, Malibu's residents and visitors face a long drive to find discount stores or to pick up anything that isn't available locally. If services are needed -- plumber, builder, doctor, lawyer -- everything is available in Malibu, but maybe not at the same price level as in other parts of the Los Angeles area.
 
Zuma Beach Plaza, across PCH from Zuma Beach, has an assortment of retail stores and services.

Everyday Shopping in Malibu
As a city of 13,000 people (2008 est), plus others in adjacent areas, Malibu of course has an array of retail stores and services for individuals and businesses. But there are pressures unique to Malibu. In 2010-2011, rising rents are forcing many small businesses to relocate or close their doors. Retail property remains vacant for long periods. Long-time mom & pop operators are being replaced by large scale chains. The well known brands of the chain stores are often willing to run a loss in Malibu just to be able to have a Malibu store on their list of locations for its international prestige "Malibu - Beverly Hills - Paris - Milan" has a nice ring to it, but it's the death knell of many a local small business as rents, taxes and other costs go up and up.
Most Malibu shopping is on or near Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and concentrated in a few areas zoned for such activity. As a guide to find these stores and services, here are some general resources:
