Nash's (F. C. Nash & Co.) was a Pasadena, California-based department store which grew into a small chain. Nash's was founded in 1889 by Hammond G. Nash, who developed his grocery on Colorado Street into a full department store. He continued to open locations in nearby towns:

  • Alhambra, downtown at 36 W. Main St.
  • Pomona at Indian Hill Mall, later 450 Pomona Mall, the town's downtown pedestrian mall
  • West Arcadia at the Arcadia Hub shopping center (1325 S. Baldwin Ave.), current site of L. A. Fitness
  • Whittier at Whittier Quad, 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2), opened 1954[1]
  • Fullerton, Harbor at Orangethorpe

The Pasadena flagship was located downtown 250 E. Colorado, but burned in a 1976 fire and was a total loss. The chain was unable to recover from the associated financial losses and closed entirely.[2]
