San Francisco Centre Mall Initiates Eviction Proceedings Against Remaining Tenants

January 6, 2026 - 05:17

In a significant move, the mortgage trust that oversees the San Francisco Centre and Emporium has filed eviction lawsuits against its last three remaining tenants. Among those facing eviction is the popular Executive Order Bar & Grill, a local establishment known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse menu.

The decision to pursue eviction comes amid ongoing challenges for retail spaces in urban areas, particularly in the wake of the pandemic, which has dramatically altered shopping habits and foot traffic. The mall, once a bustling hub of activity, has struggled to maintain occupancy as many businesses have either closed or relocated.

As the eviction process unfolds, the future of these remaining businesses hangs in the balance. This development raises concerns about the overall viability of retail spaces in downtown San Francisco, as well as the potential impact on the local economy and community. The fate of Executive Order Bar & Grill and the other tenants remains uncertain as legal proceedings commence.
