Bloomingdale's, a renowned department store chain, is closing its flagship store in San Francisco's Union Square. The closure, expected in late spring, marks the end of the brand's nearly two-decade presence in the city. The decision follows a trend of retail closures in San Francisco and nationwide, as companies like Macy's, Bloomingdale's parent company, seek to adapt to changing consumer behavior.
Bloomingdale's , a well-known department store chain, is set to close its flagship store at the San Francisco Centre Mall on Market Street, marking the end of an era for the brand in the city. Jennifer Chadroff, a spokeswoman for Bloomingdale's , expressed sadness over the closure, stating that the store will officially shut its doors in Union Square, a place that has served as the brand's home for nearly two decades. The closure is expected to take place in late spring.
Chadroff encouraged Bloomingdale's enthusiasts to visit the company's other open locations in the Bay Area, specifically Bloomingdale's Stanford in Palo Alto and Bloomingdale's Valley Fair in San Jose.The news of Bloomingdale's departure has been met with disappointment by city officials. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie acknowledged the impact of the closure while remaining optimistic about the city's future. In a statement, Lurie expressed his confidence that San Francisco's best days are yet to come. He emphasized his daily inspiration from businesses of all sizes opening and expanding within the city. Lurie highlighted the presence of 'green shoots' throughout San Francisco and the ongoing efforts towards revitalizing the city.This closure comes amidst a broader trend of retail closures in San Francisco and nationwide. Bloomingdale's is owned by Macy's, which itself announced plans to close approximately 150 underperforming stores through 2026. These store closures, which include locations in Los Angeles, San Mateo, and other parts of the state, are part of Macy's strategy to achieve sustainable and profitable sales growth. The closure of Bloomingdale's in San Francisco adds to the growing list of retail giants leaving the city, reflecting the challenges faced by traditional brick-and-mortar stores in the face of evolving consumer habits and the rise of e-commerce
