The hype has begun to promote the official opening of Supreme West Hollywood, which is slated to open on Thursday, February 16, 2022, in the former home of the Tower Records Store at 8801 Sunset Boulevard. People are bound to camp out on Sunset Boulevard next week.
According to reports, official promotional posters are coming to the Greater Los Angeles Area and a Supreme chopper has been flying around Los Angeles and past the Hollywood Sign as part of a social media campaign to get everyone excited over the new Supreme West Hollywood store opening on the world-famous Sunset Strip.

According to the City of West Hollywood’s eTrack-it portal, there was an inspection done on Friday, February 11, 2023. at 9:55:32. with some minor corrections that will most likely not delay the grand opening next week.
Corrections listed include:
- Certifying wheelchair lifts.
- Striping all stairs.
- Strapping down all shelving.
- Providing security at all guard rails for skateboard ramp no more than 4-inch opening allowed (meaning there will be an actual skateboard ramp inside after all).
- Provide ADA placard at entrance and changing room.
- Provide maximum 7 inches rise at stair leading to skateboard ramp.
- Provide maximum 34 inches height at sales counter.
A stop at the former Tower Records building space earlier this week showed a lot of progress being made to meet the Feb 16th deadline. The scaffolding had been removed from the side of the building and construction crewmembers were seen putting some finishing touches on the outdoor light fixtures.
Since that visit, the fence surrounding the building has been taken down., the wood paneling covering the windows have been removed and it appears the three Supreme signs are complete and on the verge of having their debut.

The construction of the new West Hollywood Supreme Store began on, Monday February 14, 2022. According to Aaron Green of Afriat Consulting Group, a timeline set last year stated that the buildout was supposed to be completed by August 2022.
Newmark leasing agent Jay Luchs, who represents the site, told the Beverly Press that everything was on schedule late last month. A construction worker also confirmed that the store will be opening sometime at the end of this month.
The site received some pushback from local neighbors when the entire building was gutted and the Tower Records sign was removed, even though it wasn’t the original sign (according to Luchs, the Tower Records intellectual property holder did not want their logo on the West Hollywood Supreme Store).
The Supreme West Hollywood store opens as items drop for the new season, such as the Supreme/Kurt Cobain tee featuring the legendary musician, Kurt Cobain. No details to what the tee look like yet, or many items dropping soon, which is all part of the hype.
