Nordstrom, Whole Foods And Other Companies That Endorsed BLM Amid Floyd Riots Close Stores in Crime-Ridden San Francisco

Nordstrom, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Gap, Banana Republic and H&M -- all of whom endorsed the Black Lives Matter movement amid widespread rioting and looting during the Summer of Floyd -- have closed or are closing their stores in San Francisco due to rampant crime and theft brought on by the liberal policies they supported in the name of "fighting racism" and "white supremacy."

Target, who also endorsed BLM amid widespread rioting and looting, hasn't left yet but was forced to put huge sections of its store behind security glass.




From The Daily Mail, "Nordstrom shuts down BOTH stores in crime-ridden San Francisco - as Target locks entire product range behind security glass and Whole Foods store is shuttered":


Nordstrom has announced it is closing all of its San Francisco stores, blaming the 'changed dynamics' of the city which has seen numerous major chains turn-tail in the face of soaring crime.

The retailer told employees it would not be renewing its leases at the Westfield Mall or at the Nordstrom Rack across the street. The mall location will shutter at the end of August, and the Rack store will remain open until July 1, according to the Washington Post.

Nordstrom chief stores officer Jamie Nordstrom blamed the state of San Francisco in recent years for reducing foot traffic 'and our ability to operate successfully.'

Westfield Mall said in a statement to the Washington Post that the move was brought on by the 'deteriorating situation in downtown San Francisco' which has left customers and staff unsafe.


Nordstrom is opening new stores outside of San Francisco in (relatively) safer areas like Oceanside and San Mateo.


Rampant crime in downtown San Francisco has left numerous retailers throwing up their hands and moving out. In April, Whole Foods announced it was closing its locations, while Anthropologie and Office Depot have also left. Remaining stores like Target have been reduced to locking up their entire stock behind glass to deter shoplifters.
