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 West Main Street
• Pomona at Indian Hill Mall, later 450 Pomona Mall, the town's downtown pedestrian mall
• West Arcadia at the Arcadia Hub shopping center (1325 South Baldwin Avenue), current site of L. A. Fitness
• Whittier at Whittier Quad, {{convert|30000|sqft|sqm}}, opened 1954{{cite news |title=Fourth Nash Store Opens in Whittier on Monday |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/31272741/nashs_whittier_opens_1954/ |access-date=5 May 2019 |date=November 7, 1954 |page=65}}
• Fullerton at intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue

The Pasadena flagship was located downtown 250 East Colorado Boulevard, 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.{{cite news |last1=Ragus |first1=Natalie |title=Nash's Department Store |url=https://patch.com/california/arcadia/throwback-thursday-nash-s-department-store |access-date=5 May 2019 |publisher=Patch |date=March 14, 2013}}
