10 reviews for LA Tigers
Even sadder news....the sign came down and now it's just a cinderblock box with a roll-up door...
Man, I could really use a tiger right now. Maybe the guy who sells them at the gas station at the corner of Melrose and Highland could cut me a deal?
But seriously, I was considering bringing one home but had delayed since I would need to make sure he(she?) would get along with my leopard (Costco, 1997) . Fortunately my leopard is vegetarian. Not sure about those tigers.
LA Tigers ranks extremely high on both the unintentional comedy and epic randomness scales. I mean seriously, who opens a stuffed tiger boutique, and on top of that one right off La Brea & Venice? Obviously it would seem to defy all sensible logic and although both its existence and location leave me befuddled, it does provide countless laughs and hypothetical scenarios while passing by.
Have they ever sold a single tiger? As far fetched as it may sound, perhaps passing motorists spontaneously find a need or desire for stuffed tigers. I suppose just because I've never driven by and said to myself "Tigers...I need a tiger, now." doesn't mean someone else hasn't.
Where did these tigers come from? I don't recall any recent county fair robberies involving a mass shipment of stuffed prize tigers but then again I haven't really been keeping up with the news.
And most importantly - Why the f*ck tigers? If it was me, I'd have gone bears for versatility and classic appeal, or at the very least mixed it up with a variety of animals rather than just limiting myself to tigers. There must be a very strong stuffed tiger market that I and most everyone else I know remain unaware of. Regardless I'd love to see the owner's business plan and thought process on this one.
I doubt these questions will ever be answered but inquiring minds want to know. Nonetheless 5 stars!
What the...?
You know that saying, "there's someone for everyone." Well after driving up La Brea yesterday and seeing this place, I do believe there really is someone or in this case, something for everyone.
Stuffed tigers, you say? You need a stuffed tiger in a multitude of sizes? Big, small, ferocious, coquettish, reeeoooowwwrrrring (hey, that's a word), attacking, you name it, they've got it. Yes ladies and gents, it is an entire store full of tigers... oh and a Bambi sitting on one of the tigers backs.
If it sounds like I may have dropped acid, I checked, I didn't, this store actually exists and if you don't believe me or need a laugh, hit up the corner of La Brea and Venice because this is a store that is almost too good to be true.
LA Tigers. So puuurfect.
So I'm not allowed to talk on my cell phone while driving because its a distraction but you'll give someone a license to open up some kind of stuffed TIGER kiosk explosion on the corner of Venice and La Brea... and that's not gonna distract me???
Does anyone have the real scoop on this place like... why exactly it exists? And is it going to disappear after Christmas leaving those of us who witnessed it to wonder if it was really there at all?
you should see how delicately their arms are crossed.
I want 2 !
Sorry to report that LA Tigers seems to be out of business...I'm thinking of opening LA Pandas in it's place!
Oh my goodness! Several people have yelped this place before I did! I live very close to this place and pretty much have to pass by it at least once a day. Here are some conclusions/questions I have come up with:
1. This place is a front of some sort. There is no demand for stuffed tigers. Come on! Who is their demographic exactly? Who are they trying to market this crap to?
2. It's not worth it to spend so much time setting up bunch of items no one wants to buy. Believe me, I've seen them start setting up and I'm sure it must take at least an hour or hour and a half to get all those tigers and what not out.
3. I imagine they're not open on rainy days. For obvious reasons.
4. How do they get all those tigers in that tiny space?
5. Again, who needs stuffed tigers? How many do they expect to sell?
I could go on but what's the point? This place was a CCTV/Video store before someone decided to get into the stuffed tiger business. It's good for a chuckle. :)
Has anyone actually bought a tiger from here?
I give this place 5 stars for entertainment value when I am driving home from work.
I almost smashed into the car in front of me today craning my neck to see this place AGAIN. I drive by it several times a month and before I pass it my heart starts doing little leaps of joy. Despite the economic downfall, the demand for tigets of all sizes still remains!
I appreciate that they provide a variety of tigers including the standard "Bengal Tigers" as well as the vicious and less popular "White Tiger". This place is most certainly a front for something- an unlicenced daycare in the tiny little storage room, an illegal freezer jam factory (all you need's a small freezer and a stovetop for a successful freezer jam operation- certainy that can fit in the mystery room), or perhaps a covert key maker- the type of get-up that reproduces keys that read, "Do not duplicate".
I don't really care what it is as long as the tigers stay.
probably not the best place to drop acid....
