0:33Now PlayingNordstrom’s flagship store in crime-plagued San Francisco closed its doors for the last time Sunday at a mall where fentanyl “zombies” now roam outside among drug dealers and thieves.
Dozens of shoppers were seen over the weekend perusing mostly barren aisles for mementos from the formerly posh department store — which once featured a five-star spa, champagne and caviar bar and live pianist — as cops patrolled outside.
“It’s a sad day,” a shopper named Julie told ABC 7 of the store, which was welcomed with much fanfare when it first opened on the corner of Market and Fifth streets at the San Francisco Centre mall 35 years ago.
“It’s a wonderful store. It’s been an anchor in San Francisco,” the shopper added of the Nordstrom’s, which had occupied 312,000 square feet on five floors at the mall.
Another customer, Denise Alexander, said, “It’s kind of depressing, being a native of San Francisco, just seeing how downtown is going away.”
Drug-addled homeless men were seen slumped over on the sidewalk outside the store Sunday before it shuttered.
One man struggled to get his footing as he held a small pipe and tried to pick up an unidentified drug off the cobblestone pathway in front of Nordstom’s doors.
