Community Businesses
Always the harbinger of creative and unique businesses, Isla Vista has also been host to the first start-up of larger businesses such as Kinko’s printing shop. Over the years of its development, businesses in Isla Vista have come to include skateboard shops, clothing stores, nutrition and wellness facilities, marts and grocery stores, a food cooperative, beauty salons, and a large number of specialty food stores.
