Bloomingdale’s closing San Francisco City Centre location
Jan 21, 2025
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Bloomingdale's will be closing its San Francisco Union Square location this spring, KRON4.com has confirmed. The location, which was the retailer's flagship store in the Bay Area, was also the last major anchor tenant at SF's troubled San Francisco City Centre mall.
The former Westfield mall has seen a raft of store closures over the past two years, most notably, the mall's massive Nordstrom location, which closed in the summer of 2023 after 35 years.
"We are saddened to confirm that Bloomingdale's will officially close its doors in Union Square, San Francisco," a Bloomingdale's spokesperson told KRON4. "This vibrant city has been home to the brand for nearly two incredible decades."

"While we are committed to this decision, Bloomingdale's doors will remain open until late spring 2025," the spokesperson added. "We are hopeful to be back to serve the San Francisco community in the future and look forward to introducing new ways to provide enhanced service to our loyal local shoppers."
“We don’t take this news lightly, but I am confident San Francisco’s best days are ahead," said San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie in response to the closure. "There are massive changes happening across the country in retail, and we know there’s a lot of work to do in our city. Although this closure is disappointing, I’m energized every day by businesses of all sizes opening and growing in our city. San Francisco has green shoots everywhere, and we continue to work towards the revitalization of the city.”
Bloomingdale's first opened at the mall back in 2006.
The Bloomingdale's closure follows closely on the heels of another major retailer pulling out of the mall. Last week, popular designer brand Michael Kors posted a sign at its SF Centre location, saying it was "closing soon."
Macy's, another of the Union Square district's long-term presences, also plans to close its massive flagship store this year.
