Celebrate a memorable name in Pasadena-area retail with this Nash's metal sign. Founded by Hammond G. Nash in 1889, the business grew from a Colorado Street grocery into a department store chain with locations in nearby communities. The Pasadena flagship stood at 250 East Colorado Boulevard until a 1976 fire destroyed it, and the chain later closed. Its history links downtown streets, shopping centers, and generations of local customers in Southern California.
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.
