Gelson’s Markets today announced its plans to rebuild and reopen its store in Pacific Palisades, which was lost in the Palisades Fire in January 2025.
The Southern California grocer, which currently operates 27 premium markets from Santa Barbara to San Diego, had served the Pacific Palisades community for decades. Although a construction timeline and reopening date have not been confirmed, the company is moving forward with the rebuilding process and intends to return to its longstanding location at 15424 Sunset Boulevard, near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and La Cruz Drive.
“Our Pacific Palisades store has long been a part of the fabric of this community,” said Ryan Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gelson’s. “Its loss was deeply felt across our organization. Since our first store opened in Burbank in 1951, our commitment has always been to provide exceptional service and establish a genuine connection with the communities we call home. We will return in a way that reflects the resilience of the Palisades and our long-term investment there.”
Although formal redevelopment plans have not been finalized, the store is expected to deliver a modernized shopping experience rooted in Gelson’s signature offerings, including premium produce, meats, and seafood; Gelson’s Kitchen prepared foods; full-service deli; floral department; and catering services. Additional amenities and features are being considered.
Meanwhile, Gelson’s continues to invest across the region. The company recently opened a new smaller format market as part of a mixed-use development in Toluca Lake. The neighborhood-focused concept features a curated grocery assortment and chef-crafted prepared foods tailored to the tastes of the local community.
“We are focused on the long term,” Adams added. “The same commitment to thoughtful growth and genuine community connection that guides our expansion across Southern California will guide our return to Pacific Palisades.”
