Additional information[]
- Due to prolonged construction on the nearby Southwest Freeway where this Malibu center was located making it difficult for clientele to access the area eventually forced its closure.
- This location is known for the infamous murders of several employees on July 1, 1983, committed by Richard James Wilkerson, who had been fired from this Malibu center. Wilkerson and several accomplices killed four employees in one of the restrooms.
