It’s another week, and another retailer is leaving San Francisco due to crime. Nordstrom is closing their two locations in the city and urging leaders to do something about the conditions that led to their decision.
The FOX Business Network reports:
Nordstrom closing 2 San Francisco stores, cites ‘dynamics’ of downtown areaNordstrom will close both of its downtown San Francisco stores in the coming months, citing the “dynamics” of the downtown market as the region continues to see a rash of retail thefts by brazen thieves.In a memo to employees, Chief Stores Officer Jamie Nordstrom said the company will not renew its lease for its San Francisco Centre Nordstrom store and the Market Street Rack store across the street.”We’ve spent more than 35 years serving customers in downtown San Francisco, building relationships with them and investing in the local community,” the message said. “But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability to operate successfully.”The last day of business for the Market Street Rack will be July 1, and the San Francisco Centre location will close at the end of August.The Westfield mall, where the downtown Nordstrom is located, and its owner, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said the closures “underscores the deteriorating situation in Downtown San Francisco,” the San Francisco Standard reported.”A growing number of retailers and businesses are leaving the area due to the unsafe conditions for customers, retailers, and employees, coupled with the fact that these significant issues are preventing an economic recovery of the area,” a mall spokesperson said.
Just last month, Whole Foods announced it was closing its flagship store in San Francisco just a year after opening, and for similar reasons. This is happening in other liberal cities, too.
These closures hurt poor people more than anyone, and the left just doesn’t care.
