Nash's Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt
Founded by Hammond G. Nash in Pasadena in 1889, Nash's grew from a grocery on Colorado Street into a small department-store chain. Its stores served communities from Alhambra and Pomona to Arcadia, Whittier, and Fullerton. This quarter-zip sweatshirt celebrates the regional reach of a familiar local name and the history of shopping streets and centers that connected Southern California communities. It also recalls the Pasadena flagship, lost in a 1976 fire before the chain closed.
Nash's, also known as F. C. Nash & Co., was a department store founded in Pasadena, California, in 1889 by Hammond G. Nash. He expanded his grocery on Colorado Street into a full department store and developed the business into a small chain serving nearby communities. Locations included Alhambra; downtown Pomona, first at 36 West Main Street and later at 450 Pomona Mall; West Arcadia at the Arcadia Hub shopping center, 1325 South Baldwin Avenue; Whittier at Whittier Quad; and Fullerton near Harbor Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue. The Whittier store, a 30,000-square-foot location, opened in 1954. The Pasadena flagship stood at 250 East Colorado Boulevard. It was destroyed in a 1976 fire, leaving the building a total loss. The financial losses associated with the fire proved unrecoverable for the chain, which closed entirely. Nash's history traces a local grocery's growth into a regional department-store business, with locations tied to downtown streets, shopping centers, and a pedestrian mall.
