The iconic Fourth Street shoe store Rabat is closing after 25 years in Berkeley, marking the end of a significant retail presence in the Bay Area.
Founded by Patty Woody in 1972 and named after Rabat, Morocco, the store expanded to Berkeley in 1995, specializing in leather shoes and accessories.
Rabat was a cherished member of the Fourth Street community, and their closure signifies a broader trend affecting local businesses in the region.
The store is currently holding a closing sale until December 31, its final day of operation, as owners retire after a long career.
