Take a reminder of Southern California's retail past along on your next trip with this Nash's passport cover. Founded in Pasadena in 1889, Nash's grew from a grocery on Colorado Street into a department store chain serving communities across the area. Its history includes a Whittier location opened in 1954 and a flagship at 250 East Colorado Boulevard. The flagship was destroyed in a 1976 fire, and the chain later closed, leaving a lasting local story to remember.
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.
