Dying mall fights to evict its few remaining businesses
The San Francisco Standard••business
Key Points:
- The San Francisco Centre, a struggling downtown mall, is currently involved in legal actions to evict remaining tenants, including a restaurant, an eyebrow salon, and a shoe repair shop.
- The mall, once vibrant and home to major stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s, has faced significant decline since the pandemic and was foreclosed on in November, now controlled by a lender’s Delaware-based entity.
- Recent court filings seek to remove Shoe Wiz, Executive Order Bar & Lounge, and Eyebrow Plus, with claims including unpaid rent and formal eviction notices issued.
- Despite eviction efforts, some businesses like Eyebrow Plus remain operational but plan to close soon, while others like Shoe Wiz have already been locked out.
