Lakewood indoor playground struggling to keep afloat during COVID-19 pandemic

Owner Jonathan Byun and his wife started Kidz Town Indoor Playground in Lakewood three years ago. It became a huge hit with little kids in the area.
But March 16, 2020, Los Angeles County ordered Kidz Town to shut down as part of the county s safer-at-home order.
Unlike restaurants and retail, the indoor playground hasn t been able to reopen in any capacity. It is very stressful when every day you re thinking about if the business goes down, then our lives go down as well, said Byun.
In an effort to try to make money for rent and utilities, Byun started selling merchandise. But that provided little relief.
