I didn't recognize the location, but it looks like a dry cleaners. In the 1956 CD there's an entry for 'George's House of Dry Cleaning' at 8887 W Pico Boulevard. The building currently at that address looks consistent, and is still a cleaners. In place of the plain window on the right, there's now a nail store, but there's no business listed at 8885 W Pico in the 1956 CD, so I'm guessing it was all part of George's House of Dry Cleaning back then.

I tried to confirm the location by identifying the building in the background. If I'm right about the address, then in 1956 it was still the Citizens National Trust and Savings Bank Pico & Swall Drive branch at 8901 W Pico Boulevard. The 1928 picture below is from my round-up of Citizens Bank branches (full post here), but I'm not sure if it's the same building after a makeover. The building has since been replaced by a much more modern branch of Wells Fargo Bank.
