Castro Coffeeshop and Nail Salon Defiantly Remain Open, Despite Eviction by Another Planet Entertainment
Briefly

Castro Coffee Company and Castro Nail Salon continue to operate despite eviction orders set for July 1. Another Planet Entertainment's renovation plans for the Castro Theatre led to eviction notices for these businesses. Public outcry supported their stay, but the Nasser family, the property owners, did not renew their leases. As of July 1, both businesses remained open. Business owners expressed determination to continue operations and hope for a potential resolution to their eviction situation. Local authorities, including the mayor, have become involved in the negotiations.
Ken Khoury, owner of Castro Coffee Company, stated, "I'm not sure we'll be closing shop any time soon... Hopefully, if we must leave, if there's no resolution we should have enough time to transition to move on."
Riyad Khoury, owner of Castro Nail Salon, indicated the salon continues operations despite eviction orders and strong public support for both establishments.
