About this location
Parked at Gate 23 in the West Gates corridor, POP SOX is boxed in by AllSaints on one side and Pier Provisions on the other, a narrow footprint built around a single product, socks, rather than the broader apparel or travel-goods stock of its neighbors. It opens at 5am, ahead of the first Bradley West departures, and runs until midnight, closing before some of the latest red-eyes this concourse handles. This is the only sock specialist among the shops listed at Gates 201-225, and the only POP SOX location at LAX.
