A new store coming to West Hollywood is causing some controversy among local residents after some say the popular 'Supreme' clothing brand has created problems in other places.
Local residents and business owners say they have grown increasingly concerned about a rise in brazen crime along Melrose Avenue.
"There's been endless problems that haven't been resolved still, so we're afraid that them coming to this location, it's even bigger, so the crowds will be bigger when they have another sneaker drop, and then we're going to be trapped on our street with all the problems going on," said Jerome Cleary.
A worker at the Shoe Palace on Melrose was shot and killed last summer during a dispute between shoppers over a shoe raffle at the store. "We pride ourselves on running very safe, clean shops," said West Rubinstein, of Supreme."We don't do popups, we don't do flash mobs, we don't allow people to camp in our space overnight.""From my point of view, as an older man, I want to build something around me to add value to the society, and makes sense for our economy," said Samir Mahallawi.
Supreme says they will meet with neighbors to try and answer their concerns about the project. The store is expected to open in August.
