According to Blacc Sam, the deceased rapper’s brother, the family has purchased a commercial property in the Melrose Arts District in Los Angeles for the new store. He further stated to The Guardian, “This second location is a dream that Nipsey always had, and it’s important that his kids are able to see his plans fulfilled.” The first The Marathon store is located at Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue. Currently, the brick and mortar is closed and is being used as a memorial space for friends, fans, and family to leave tributes in his memory.
