Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

There are new security systems for fire doors. Now at certain chains the fire doors are equipped with cameras and anti-theft systems. The fire doors will have a delay. They won't open until a timer counts down a delay. The security systems will freeze the shopping cart wheels to prevent carts from l...

Re: Arby's $1 Sliders

Arby's disappeared from all but one city in San Francisco Bay Area. If Arby's had kept some open at least there would be some variety to the fast food restaurants in the area. Burger King, Jack In The Box, Wendy's, McDonald's all seem to have mediocre fish sandwiches. I heard A&W has a new fish ...

Re: Eddie Bauer dumbs down logo for GenZ

In Psychology, I learned that cursive writing uses certain neural networks in the brain. If you never learned cursive, there are certain parts of the brain that are not used and are left to decay. This can affect a person's ability to learn and think critically. California as of 2024 now requires cu...

Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

This is probably why Macy's wants to switch to small format stores. Instead of several scattered entrances and tons of space to monitor, you could have a single entrance to monitor and less floor space to watch. If they could switch to a single main entrance and then reconfigure the entrance to be a...

Re: Oakland Taco Bell units: Drive Through Only, No Cash Accepted

The no cash rule is due to the insane amount of cash register robberies in the area. Oakland Police simply do not respond. Safeway stores have been robbed left and right. 7-Eleven stores say they don't carry more than $20 in change. They drop everything into safes throughout the day. Robbers cannot ...

Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

I do think we need to see how this Bloomingdale's does once the Macy's closes. This new CEO who is a Bloomingdale's person- you have to wonder is he going to use this as a strategy close Macy's that are near Bloomingdale's Stores to try to prop up the Bloomingdale's results? There has to be some de...

Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

The closure of the movie theater really caused a die off of the restaurants. The food court was surviving on the movie theater crowd. Once the movie theater closed, the restaurants were deserted. Perhaps a movie theater or a Dave & Buster's would help out. The Metreon shopping center across the ...

Re: San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

When you hear San Francisco Centre you immediately think homeless, crime, robberies, drug addicts, etc. They probably just wanted to get the San Francisco name off of the building. Some companies just might want to open up in the shopping center if it has no connection to the tarnished San Francisco...

San Francisco Centre Renamed To Emporium Centre

The San Francisco name was dropped in favor of a tribute to the The Emporium department store that opened there in 1896. Emporium Centre is the new name. The over 100 year old Emporium glass dome is all that remains of the old Emporium store. It is quite a sight to see in person. Sephora is closing ...
