Okay, so it's not like this store opened just right now, but did you know that the Westfield Culver City mall has a huge, two-story Forever 21? Not only that, but it's fairly well-stocked and un-mobbed, which is something we can't say about the Third Street Promenade location. The Culver City location has large, clearly-marked sections for its various collections, such as Heritage 1981, Faith21, TwelvebyTwelve and men's clothing, all on the bottom floor. We even saw one rack of Twist punk clothes by the escalators. The accessories section takes up a portion of one wall as well as a large section of floor space. There's plenty of plaid flannel shirts for men and women scattered throughout the store, as well as tables of jeans for $12.50 and $14.50 upstairs. Don't forget to check the back wall upstairs for tons of t-shirts (short- and long-sleeved) in multiple colors for around $5.50 each. For now, this earns our vote as favorite Forever 21 location on the Westside. Will it be shown up by what could possibly be a bigger, better store at the Los Cerritos Center? Does having the biggest, baddest Forever 21 make a mall better or worse?
