SAN FRANCISCO–Bloomingdale’s San Francisco Center store will close in April, according to a spokesperson for its owner, Macy’s Inc.
“We are saddened to confirm that Bloomingdale’s will officially close its doors in Union Square, San Francisco,” the spokesperson said in an email, “This vibrant city has been home to the brand for nearly two incredible decades.”
“While we are committed to this decision, Bloomingdale’s doors will remain open until late spring 2025,” the spokesperson said, “We are hopeful to be back to serve the San Francisco community in the future and look forward to introducing new ways to provide enhanced service to our loyal local shoppers.”
The Union Square flagship store, located inside the struggling San Francisco Center mall, is by far the largest of the remaining stores in the mall.
“We don’t take this news lightly, but I am confident San Francisco’s best days are ahead.” Mayor Daniel Lurie said in an email.
“Although this closure is disappointing, I’m energized every day by businesses of all sizes opening and growing in our city.” he said. “San Francisco has green shoots everywhere, and we continue to work towards the revitalization of the city.
“There are massive changes happening across the country in retail, and we know there’s a lot of work to do in our city.”
Just a week ago, designer brand Michael Kors announced the closure of its store in the same mall by putting a sign on the door.
