A Torrance-based events company has pivoted from servicing some of the biggest festivals, sporting events and awards shows in the region to helping hospitals and restaurants. Choura Events saw a booming business collapse as the global pandemic arrived in Southern California last year. The next thing you know, they’re saying we need to cancel all these events," said Ryan Choura, the company’s founder. Choura Events has built over 70 testing sites in six different state, helping to administer more than 300,000 tests. Choura Events has constructed more than 150 parklets, street expansions, and outdoor dining areas at a significantly reduced cost.
