Historic San Francisco Hat Store Shuts Down Amid Retail Closures
Goorin Bros., a century-old hat boutique specializing in fedoras and leopard print hats, has closed its location in San Francisco's Union Square due to the city's struggles in attracting tourists and office workers following pandemic lockdowns. The closure is part of a trend of retail closures in the city, driven by a combination of pandemic-related challenges and increasing crime rates. Nordstrom and Walgreens are among the other businesses that have closed stores in San Francisco due to similar issues.
