Saks Could Be the Next Major Retailer to Exit Union Square
Briefly

Saks Fifth Avenue may be on the verge of leaving San Francisco's Union Square, as concerns grow about the impact of its appointment-only model and recent merger with Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. This merger, as reported, threatens the integrity of luxury brands and affects their real estate strategies. A prominent Neiman Marcus location has already transitioned to Saks Global Enterprises. As retail giants like Bloomingdale's prepare to close, the future of luxury shopping in Union Square appears bleak, with Neiman Marcus potentially becoming the only department store left by 2027.
The appointment-only model at Saks Fifth Avenue's Union Square store signals a challenging retail environment in San Francisco, as experts speculate on the store's future.
With Saks Global's lease due to expire in 2027, there is growing speculation that the San Francisco location may not survive long-term amidst declining luxury retail.
