35-year-old Bay Area restaurant closes, another blow to struggling neighborhood
Briefly

Ginza, a sushi restaurant in Jack London Square, has officially closed its doors after 35 years of operation. The announcement was made on the restaurant's website, expressing gratitude for the community's continued support throughout the years. The closure is part of a troubling trend in the area, which has seen six other businesses shut down recently, attributed to declining foot traffic and rising costs. Despite these challenges, new establishments and returning favorites have emerged in the neighborhood, hinting at hope and resilience amid the changes.
"After much thoughts we've made difficult decision to close Ginza. We are deeply grateful for the love, support and memories shared during our 35 years of time. Thank you for being part of our history."
"In June 2024, Jack London Square brewery owners told SFGATE that dwindling foot traffic, as well as rising business costs, had made it increasingly difficult to survive in the iconic brewing neighborhood."
