The San Francisco Centre, once bustling with shoppers, now faces significant decline with over half its stores closed. Locals express disappointment and concern about job losses and the diminishing shopping experience. The impending closure of Bloomingdale's, one of its largest retailers, adds to the growing list of store closures, prompting shoppers to seek deals amid nostalgia for a once-vibrant space. Mayor Daniel Lurie emphasizes the need for safer, cleaner streets to attract business back to the area.
"What can I say about it? It's depressing, it's sad," Keihani said. "I feel bad actually even looking at the sale because there are people who are out of jobs now."
"I feel sad that some of the stores are closing, we have nowhere to go you know," said Ces San Pedro who lives nearby.
"I mean that part of it is awesome, but obviously, I don't like to see stores closing. I do a lot of online shopping, however, I still enjoy walking around a mall."
"Well what needs to happen everywhere is that we need to have safe and clean streets, we need to invite busines"
