Hmart San Francisco store opened on April 4!

Recently, many friends in the Bay Area have been vaccinated for the first time, and all major restaurants, movie theaters, and theaters have reopened., We are not far from the day of completely Sa Huan'er.

However, in the past year, many restaurants and chain stores have not done so.The epidemic is raging,Even if life is restored, it can’t be reopened. I will say goodbye to us forever...

 

MY China

 

How many friends are like me. After landing in San Francisco, the first Chinese restaurant to eat was on the fourth floor of Westfield Mall in the city center.MY China.After shopping, I went to eat a bowl of warm beef noodles, and then I had a little steamed bun, which was nothing short ofStandard for weekends during the student period.But before I could recall it again, this high-end Chinese restaurant in the city was permanently closed.

 

 

MY China has been in operation for nearly 10 years. It is run by the well-known chef Mr. Zhen Wenda and Lei Yue Men Restaurant.Because I am located in a shopping mall, it is not so convenient to go to MY China during the epidemic to pick up my own takeaway. At the end of last year, Westfield and chef Zhen Wenda issued a statement successively.Make sure the restaurant will not reopen, I really made the editor and my friends sad for a while.

 

Cliff house

 

Good luck, a landmark restaurant in the cityCliff houseRegrettably closed the store at the end of 2020.This 157-year-old viewing-style cliff restaurant overlooks the reefs and waves on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean.Whether it's for a cup of coffee after a morning run on Ocean Beach, or enjoying an exquisite seafood meal accompanied by the sunset, Cliff House does not disappoint.

 

This restaurant not only attracts locals, but alsoOne of the must-visit places for tourists to San Francisco.The restaurant was forced to close. In addition to the epidemic, the main reason is that the land ownership of the restaurant belongs to the national park system. The owner refused the long-term business contract with the restaurant.Maybe a turnaroundMaybe.

 

Kang Nian Seafood Restaurant

 

The restaurant that also carries the memories of generations, and the one in San Francisco’s ChinatownKang Nian Seafood Restaurant.It is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in San Francisco, fromOpened from 1920 until last year.

 

Kang Nian is also one of the last two restaurants in Chinatown that will host banquets. It is a memory of generations of residents growing up.Friends around me hold weddings in Kang Nian, and various activities organized by the community are the common memories of Chinese residents in San Francisco.But it is precisely becauseThe business model of the restaurant, Under the epidemic, it is difficult for Kangnian Restaurant to survive through takeout alone. It can onlyStop loss.

The Stud

If you’re a friend who loves a couple of drinks, you should have heard of the oldest LGBTQ bar in the cityThe Stud.This fromThe bar opened in 1966, Closed in May last year.For bar practitioners, the past year has been too difficult. No matter what the state of the epidemic, bars cannot be opened for business.

 

 

However, Honey Mahogany, the partner of The Stud, also said that it is not ruled out that the bar will be reopened elsewhere.But that authentic bar full of old times will say goodbye to everyone.It’s also a historic bar in the Bay Area, Berkeley’sAlbatross BarIt is also permanently closed for the same reason.

 

godiva

 

In fact, in addition to local century-old stores and characteristic landmark buildings, many large chain brands have also closed many stores in the Bay Area due to the epidemic.Famous in BelgiumGodiva chocolate closed 128 stores in North America at the first pass.The official reason is that because of the decrease in tourists and the cancellation of various gatherings during the epidemic, the sales of offline stores have encountered unprecedented challenges..

 

 

But this doesn't mean that you won't be able to eat delicious Godiva chocolate in the future. Godiva still maintains an online store, but next time you go shopping at Valley Fair, you can't buy ice cream with the little sisters.

 

Target

 

Retail supermarkets have recently announced the closure of storesTarget, Two of them are located in the Bay AreaSan Francisco and Cupertino city.The editor of the Target store in San Francisco used to go toocean avenue.After closing the store, friends nearby want to go to Target again, so they must go to the store in Stone Town..

They will also permanently close 6 retail stores in North America at the same time, including three in the Bay Area.

Also in order to reduce expenses and expand online transactions, other Bay Area stores were closedClothing Store Gap.

 

Fry's electronics

Compared with the big food and technology brands, they just close offline stores and time-honored electrical appliance retail stores.Fry's electronicsEven worse, they not only have to close all offline stores, but also online retailCan no longer operate.Before the epidemic, they had already received strong competition from Best Buy and Amazon. After the impact of the epidemic, they have further lost their competitive advantage.

 

The sucker cat of the squad: I would go when I came to the United States earlierFry's buys parts to assemble a computer, and can compare prices with bestbuy. They are full of memories~~~

In addition, American fitness brands24 Hour FitnessNot only closed 100 stores permanently, but also applied forBankruptcy protection, Closed gymAbout one-thirdAll in California.In the future, it may take more effort to find a gym with such an affordable price and complete equipment.

 

All walks of life are facing difficulties under the epidemic, and our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes due to 2020. The above are only some of the affected stores.I just hope that as the scope of vaccination becomes wider and wider, all industries can re-emerge vitality!

I also hope that there are many stores and brands that we like, which can persist until the dawn of victory!
