"Multiple San Francisco Businesses Forced to Close Due to Pandemic Struggles and Lack of Foot Traffic"
Banana Republic is closing its downtown San Francisco location at the Embarcadero Center, with its last day of operation being September 23. A new Banana Republic store is set to open in Union Square in early October. The closure adds to the struggles faced by businesses in the Embarcadero Center, which has been affected by remote work. The remaining Banana Republic store in San Francisco only sells baby clothes.
