San Francisco Centre, the city’s largest shopping mall, has shed another half-dozen eateries, deepening a years-long tenant exodus that has hollowed out the once-bustling complex. Store vacancies and restaurant departures have multiplied since the pandemic, and foot traffic has failed to rebound to pre-2020 levels. With major retailers already gone and remaining tenants waiting for formal closure notices, local business owners say they expect the property to shut within months, although no timeline has been announced. Real-estate firms are studying redevelopment options, but city officials and landlords have yet to present a concrete plan for the nearly one-million-square-foot site.
