Glendale highlight
Major retail centers (Glendale Galleria, Americana at Brand)
Glendale Galleria and Americana at Brand are major shopping destinations that draw millions of visitors annually, anchoring the city's retail economy.
Glendale Galleria opened on October 14, 1976, and has since grown into one of Southern California's largest shopping malls, with more than 200 stores and six anchor department stores. The mall draws tens of millions of visitors each year, serving not only Glendale residents but shoppers from throughout Los Angeles County. Since 2002, Brookfield Properties has owned and managed the property, maintaining it as a regional retail destination.
Americana at Brand, which opened on May 2, 2008, represents a different model: a mixed-use lifestyle center developed by Rick Caruso and his company Caruso Affiliated. The property combines retail and dining with residential space—condominiums and luxury apartments—creating a destination that blends shopping, entertainment, and urban living. With anchor tenants including Nordstrom and specialty brands, plus dozens of restaurants and entertainment venues, Americana at Brand draws locals and visitors seeking a modern shopping experience.
Both centers reflect how Glendale's economy has grown to support families and households of all kinds. For shoppers planning their financial future, the conversation often begins with the basics: insuring income, protecting mortgages and savings, and ensuring the people who depend on that income are secure if something happens. Term life coverage is the straightforward way to build that foundation.
