Sears: A San Francisco Legion
Thursday, August 10, 2006
As a fourth generation San Franciscan, I have many happy memories of going to Sears after spending a day shopping with my Mother on Union Square. The waitresses were always so nice to us. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the bacon and eggs, and the Swedish pancakes. It was a fun place to go because we always saw people we knew along with hoardes of tourists.
After I became an adult I still loved going to Sears. It was a destination after a trip to 450 Sutter for a dental cleaning or a place to grab a lunch with the friendly waitresses after shopping at Gumps. (The real family owned Gumps, not the new chain store that purchased it).
Sears will be greatly missed by native San Franciscans as well as the tourists. We will miss Sears.
Pros: Great Food, Excellent Service, Terrific Value
Cons: Crowded at lunch
