The Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce is holding its annual awards ceremony at a March 25 luncheon that’s open to everyone in the community. The event honors individuals who reflect the “Character of Los Gatos.” The six local characters who are receiving awards include long-time resident Sue Tuttle. Tuttle moved to Los Gatos in 1984 and lives near downtown. She used to exercise regularly at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center but that ended when the pandemic lockdowns took effect. ➝ Chamber Awards, 6

It’s the place to go if you want to get lingonberry Swedish pancakes, peek at the jarred reptile on your way to a $20 beard trim, or send out some packages all in one trip. And now, El Gato Village— the 15710 Los Gatos Blvd. space that’s home to a Nob Hill Foods, a Chase Bank, and an Una Mas Mexican Grill, among others— has sold to San Francisco real estate developer Prado Group for $33 million, according to people familiar with the deal. Girish Patel, who owns the Postal Annex, said he doesn’t have any issues with the change in ownership. “Everyone has the right to sell their business,” he said, adding he feels he’s received good communication about the sale. “They’ve been talking about it for the last six to nine months.” Patel said current arrangements are still in place, and he says he’ll have a better idea about their future by March. ➝ El Gato, 6
