Shavers Hawaiian Shave Ice Opens and Shave It Shaved Ice Closes Recently in Thousand Oaks

UPDATE: Shavers Hawaiian Shave Ice closed in spring/summer 2020.

About a month ago, Shavers Hawaiian Shave Ice opened at The Oaks mall, on the first floor near Starbucks in what was formerly Teavana. Shavers offers two sizes and either mixture of one or two flavor; or choose one of their selected combinations. www.shaversusa.com

We are sad to announce that Shave It! recently closed their doors after 12 years serving the local community.. It was definitely sad to see the inside of the store completely empty, after many times there with the kids after Saturday sports activities.

The inside of Shave It Thousand Oaks on December 27th.
