Nordstrom’s flagship store in downtown San Francisco has permanently shut its doors after 35 years of operation. The iconic store, situated at the intersection of 5th and Market Streets in the San Francisco Centre mall, was renowned for its vast 312,000 square foot retail space spread across five floors.
