Among the many structures destroyed in the devastating Palisades Fire was the area’s Gelson’s Market.
“With a heavy heart, we share that our Palisades store has been completely lost to the fires,” Gelson’s President/CEO said in a statement Wednesday. “This store was more than just a place to shop — it was a cornerstone of the community, and we grieve this loss alongside the team members, customers, and neighbors who called it their own.”
Adams noted that the market’s location in La Cañada Flintridge was under evacuation orders due to the Eaton Fire burning in that area. The Calabasas store was also temporarily closed due to fire danger.
“These closures, while necessary, underscore the profound impact these fires are having on our communities,” Adams said. “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these tragedies. We are committed to supporting our employees during this challenging time, ensuring they have access to resources and aid as they navigate their own hardships.”
