San Francisco Mayor London Breed speaks at a press conference in Union Square on Tuesday, May 16, about new city investment in the Powell Street corridor, as well as the current challenges that the city faces.Mayor London Breed pushed back on the narrative that Union Square is dying as a rash of retail outlets close their doors.
Breed pointed to stores that have recently opened in the city's retail district, such as the Toys R Us at Macy's last year, and those that renewed their leases, including Levi's. “We didn’t hear about Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel expanding their footprint because they’ve had record sales in Union Square and a number of the luxury retailers who are here to stay,” Breed said. “We didn’t hear about Banana Republic and others moving into this corridor of the Union Square area. No one’s talking about the fact that Ikea is going to be opening a store on Market Street.”
Breed directly addressed media outlets that have featured stories on the demise of the city's retail neighborhood. “Those folks who don’t walk the streets in San Francisco, that don’t live in San Francisco, but they want to write about and commentate about San Francisco, I challenge you to come to this city and see what it feels like. I challenge you to come shop at the stores that you’re complaining about, which you probably never even stepped foot in in the first place,” she said.
