Union Square is experiencing a retail recovery, with the latest quarterly report showing gains in foot traffic and new store openings.
The district reported a 35% increase in foot traffic as tourism and local spending improved. Merchants said the rebound is encouraging, especially for retailers and restaurants that rely on steady downtown activity.
Business groups continue to watch vacancy rates and evening traffic, but the quarter points to stronger momentum for one of San Francisco's most visible shopping districts.
