Aahs! The Ultimate Gift Store will celebrate its last Halloween in Westwood before shuttering Nov. 3.

Aahs! – which opened in 1981 on the corner of Kinross Avenue and Westwood Boulevard – sells costumes, props, toys and novelty items. The business sold its Westwood location – the chain’s last remaining store – to UC Investments in September, said Jack Bhasin, the store’s owner of 43 years and current president.

UC Investments purchased the Westwood Village Collection in July, which includes 14 Westwood properties. UC Investments acquired Aahs! in a separate purchase, said Michael Russell, the executive director of the Westwood Village Improvement Association.

“We’ve loved being in Westwood,” Bhasin said. “It’s been the most beautiful experience.”

The UC Office of the President declined to comment on UC Investments’ plan for the newly acquired properties.

Declining foot traffic, recent business closures and a lack of accessible parking contributed to the store’s closure, Bhasin said.

Several Westwood stores and restaurants – including Broxton Brewery, Urban Outfitters, Sarah Leonard Fine Jewelers and Espresso Profeta – have shut down in the past year.

“One business feeds off the other,” Bhasin said. “If you come to eat ice cream, you’ll come into our store, or you come into our store, you’ll go and eat ice cream,”

Alex Orozco, a UCLA employee, said she is sad to see Aahs! close because it has been in Westwood for decades. Her father often visited the store as a UCLA student when it first opened, she added.

“It’s a little ominous, especially because there should be a lot of foot traffic next to a university,” Orozco said.

Sam Lee, a second-year economics student who shopped at Aahs! last Halloween, said he hopes a small business fills the vacant spot instead of a large chain retailer.

“It’s a lot more convenient,” Lee said. “When you order online, you have to wait and you have to go to the mailroom to pick it up. Here, you just go and grab what you want.”

Caden Mulloy, a second-year economics and statistics and data science student who shopped at Aahs!, said he believes the ongoing business closures will make Westwood less appealing to college students.

“Ultimately, we want to bring more people into the Village and help our businesses succeed,” Russell said in an emailed statement.

All items in Aahs! are 30-80% off until it closes, Bhasin said.

“It was really a fun era,” Bhasin said. “It made shopping fun. It made buying something for a loved one fun, and I think customers are going to probably miss that aspect of us.”
