Nordstrom Woke, Now Closing SFO Stores

Well, Nordstrom supported the BLM's 'de-fund the police' campaign.  What did they expect?

Nordstrom is now being punished by the crime wave it helped to unleash. This past week, retail giant Nordstrom announced it was closing both of its downtown San Francisco stores citing changing ‘dynamics.’

“Decisions like this are never easy, and this one has been especially difficult,” wrote Jamie Nordstrom, Nordstrom’s chief stores officer, in a memo obtained by CNN. “But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability to operate successfully.”

A mall spokesman was a bit more honest and frank about the problem and told CNN affiliate KGO-TV:

“A growing number of retailers and businesses are leaving the area due to the unsafe conditions for customers, retailers, and employees, coupled with the fact that these significant issues are preventing an economic recovery of the area,” the mall said....

Nordstrom is not--currently--in danger of going broke.
