Toyota owners embody the unstoppable energy and lifestyle of Southern California, and for decades, Davis Elen has been honored to support a community that brings that energy to life. This year, we brought their stories to the Big Game stage.

Last week, our Beyond The Arches series took home the Silver and Bronze at the @TheOneClub Awards, a win for the power of real stories.​ This docuseries goes beyond the counter, spotlighting the extraordinary lives of McDonald’s employees nationwide.

This year, Davis Elen was honored to bring Chef Roy Choi’s partnership with Smart Final to life. From his roots in a family of restaurant owners to the early days of Kogi bbq, Roy has trusted Smart & Final for years to stock his food trucks, restaurants, and home.
