T-Mobile has become the latest major retailer to close a flagship store in San Francisco as the city faces a business exodus due to ‘rampant criminal activity’.
The decision by the telecoms giant to shutter its premises in Union Square follows similar announcements last week by Saks Off 5th and Nordstrom.
T-Mobile said the closure of its two-level, 17,000-sq-ft building in the heart of San Francisco’s was part of its ‘nationwide retail strategy to better take care of customers’.
It is the latest in a string of closures to blight the tech haven, which has been ravaged by rising crime and a homelessness epidemic.
Billionaire Elon Musk last week blasted downtown San Francisco as ‘post-apocalyptic’.
