‘Dynamic’ departure: Nordstrom to make exit from downtown San Francisco after 35 years

Nordstrom, a fixture in downtown San Francisco for 35 years, said it will close its department store in Westfield mall on Market Street and its nearby discount outlet within three months, citing changing “dynamics of the downtown.”

The announcement came Tuesday in an all-company message from Jamie Nordstrom, the company’s chief stores officer. He called it a “difficult decision not to renew our leases.”
