Beleaguered Former Westfield Mall Gets More Beleaguered, Loses Six More Restaurants
Briefly

The former Westfield Mall, now the San Francisco Centre, has experienced a significant decline in tenant numbers, including notable exits like Jamba Juice and Nordstrom. Previously rebranded to Emporium Centre San Francisco, this name lasted only eight months before reverting. The shopping center has been described as bleak, with numerous restaurant closures and an alarming lack of shoppers. Many areas within the mall have more security guards than customers, signifying its struggle and loss of relevance in the downtown area post-COVID.
The most visible example of downtown SF's post-COVID malaise was the Westfield San Francisco Centre, which lost its Nordstrom and its Bloomingdale's.
The San Francisco Centre has suffered such Doom Loopiness that it has very little relevance anymore, with a dwindling number of tenants and a lack of foot traffic.
Six more restaurants have just closed in the SF Centre's food court, leaving only a handful of restaurants and an increasingly desolate atmosphere.
Foot traffic was anemic, with many areas seeing more yellow-suited security guards and store workers than shoppers, highlighting the area's decline.
