American Eagle Outfitters plans to shutter its only downtown San Francisco retail location, following in the footsteps of other major retail chains that have fled the city’s center in the past year.

The outlet expects to close its doors at the troubled San Francisco Centre, a former Westfield mall location, at the end of June, an associate confirmed May 15.
