Court-appointed receiver forcefully rejects American Eagle’s assertions store was “constructively evicted” due to continuing and increased security incidents
American Eagle , the clothing retailer suing former operators of the Emporium Centre San Francisco over allegedly neglectful management and criminal activity at the mall, said in a letter filed in court that it would surrender its recently closed store Friday.
The City logged 46 police reports from Oct. 10 through May 19, 133 police reports for the same period ending in 2022 and 119 police reports for the stretch ending last year. The rate of security incidents at the American Eagle store actually increased “significantly” after Williams took over, rising from one every four days to one every 2½ days, the letter alleged.
The receiver strongly rejected American Eagle’s claims in a June 27 court filing that said there was “no support” for the contention that security had declined since his appointment and calling the allegation “self-serving and false.“ “The Centre and downtown are making progress in a number of areas. Change takes time, but we are seeing positive trends,” Wade said. “Our top priorities at the Centre continue to be to enhance the guest experience and continue to improve security for our guests and tenants.”

For example, they are using a text system for people to report issues and are providing quick responses, he said. Wahl said he has also been glad to see some people being escorted off the premises.
Wahl said he counts it as a good week when someone does not steal from his store, which still manages to do good business, and he would like to see more done to prosecute people who habitually steal. “It was just mayhem. Purely mayhem,” said Wahl, estimating it could take three months to get the window fixed.
