Popular jewelry retailer among latest to reportedly close SF Centre location

(KRON) — One of the most well-known jewelry brands is closing its San Francisco Centre mall location. Swarovski is closing its location inside the mall on May 19, according to multiple reports by the San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner.

Swarovski does have another store in Union Square as its 295 Geary St. location remains open. That store is about two blocks away from the indoor mall.

Despite another closure by a major retailer inside the mall formerly known as Westfield, there are still several still operating. That includes H&M, Foot Locker, Shoe Palace and Bath & Body Works.

Swarovski’s closure comes at a time when two major department stores announced their departure from Union Square: Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s. Luxury spa Burke Williams permanently closed last month, citing safety concerns as a reason.

However, there are still big-name companies set to open in the downtown area.

The Nintendo store opens next week on May 15. Zara is opening a huge four-story, 40,000 square-foot location at an unknown future date. In January, KRON4 compiled a list of retailers opening in the area.

KRON4 reached out to an SF Centre spokesperson who declined to comment, neither confirming nor denying Swarovski’s closure. We also reached out to multiple Swarovski representatives and did not hear back in time for this report.

Swarovski is one of the most recognizable jewelry brands in the world, boasting 20 million followers across its X, Facebook and Instagram pages. Brand ambassadors include Ariana Grande, Bella Hadid and K-pop star Kim Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM.
