AT&T Closes Iconic Downtown San Francisco Store Amid Retail Struggles

AT&T is closing its flagship store in downtown San Francisco due to changing shopping habits and a desire to serve customers through other channels.
The closure is scheduled for August 1, 2023 and will leave 11 AT&T stores remaining in San Francisco, including one nearby.
All employees at the flagship store will be offered jobs at other locations in the city.
The closure is the latest in a string of departures from downtown San Francisco as businesses struggle with high costs and competition from e-commerce.
Roughly a quarter of storefronts in nearby Union Square sit empty as major brands exit the area.
