Gap closed its Banana Republic store inside the Westfield San Francisco Centre last month, a company spokesperson confirmed with SFGATE. Though the closure may seem related to the recent exodus of retail outlets from downtown San Francisco, including several within the San Francisco Centre, the shuttering of this particular store was planned in 2020 as part of Gap's efforts to 'optimize Banana Republic's fleet of stores across North America,' the spokesperson said. Gap announced plans in October 2020 to close approximately 350 Gap and Banana Republic stores.
