The front corner of the Quad in Whittier, CA
It was built in 1953[1] and expanded in 1965 with the addition of a May Company California department store.[2] Arcadia-based Hinshaw's and Pasadena-based Nash's were other major tenants.[3]
After the center was destroyed by the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, its owners began renovating it as a strip mall.[4][5] Hinshaw's, the only store not affected by the earthquake, closed in 1992.[6]
The current shopping center includes Burlington Coat Factory (which opened in 1999[7] in the old Hinshaw's), Michael's, Old Navy, Rubi's, Ross Dress for Less, Staples, Olive Garden, Chili's, and TJ Maxx.[8]

Just a few years after the earthquake, the remains of the popular May.Co. were transferred to Whittier Boulevard which runs on the north side, and Ocean View Avenune north-south, on the southeastern corner to become a popular medical plaza.
