"San Francisco Mall Suffers Fifth Store Closure in Rapid Decline"

San Francisco Centre, the city's largest shopping mall, is facing a crisis as it has lost five retailers in the past month, bringing its occupancy rate down to just 25%. The mall's value has plummeted by $1 billion, and its owners have defaulted on a $558 million mortgage due to declining foot traffic and sales exacerbated by the pandemic. A receiver has been appointed to manage the property, and there are proposals to redevelop it into a soccer stadium. The city's broader issues, including crime, homelessness, and housing shortages, have also contributed to the mall's struggles.

San Francisco's Westfield Mall Loses Movie Theater and Shopping Giant in Major Departure

The Century San Francisco Centre 9 and XD theater will be closing permanently after its current lease with the mall ends, the theater’s owner Cinemark, confirmed.
