Luxury department chain Saks Fifth Avenue confirmed April 25 that it will close its Union Square location in San Francisco next month, making it the latest to leave the historic shopping district.

The outlet will lock the doors at the corner of Post and Powell streets for a final time on May 10 after nearly 30 years. It switched to appointment-only shopping in August 2024.
