Women’s clothing store Johnny Was opens in Los Gatos

Los Gatos residents may have spotted a new addition to the retail scene on North Santa Cruz Avenue this summer: the upscale California-based women’s clothing store, Johnny Was.

Located at 2 N. Santa Cruz Ave., near Oren’s Hummus and Town Plaza Park, Johnny Was sells vintage-inspired “boho-chic” clothing, a fragrance and candle collection, accessories and homeware.

“Every time I go by the new Johnny Was store on the corner of Santa Cruz and East Main, I admire the beautiful painting on the building done by real artists on scaffolding,” former Los Gatos mayor Sandy Decker said. “I’m thrilled we are attracting this level of retail, and it appears they are committed to making their store in Los Gatos a unique statement.”

Johnny Was is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Sunday, when its hours are noon to 5 p.m..
