I'm sure they'll open another store inside Westfield San Francisco Centre like a lot of the stores around Union Square. Probably sooner than later.

I hope Uniqlo will open its store on one of the upper floors, like H&M, but on the Nordstrom side so that it can have a complement to H&M (located on the Bloomingdale's side of the mall) and have a balance of discount clothing stores.

I'm not sure about the Nordstrom side, but I know it can definitely take over the old Dockers store or the Borders on the Bloomingdale's side.

Good idea. But that means that the calendars and toys store will need to move somewhere else. And there might be quite a lot of foot traffic because right next to it will be a Dim Sum place.

I'm sure foot traffic will not be a problem. Malls want foot traffic and the restaurants at the dome don't create a lot of foot traffic like the food court downstairs. Plus the old Borders and Dockers have an escalator a few feet away and there's another set of escalators next to the dome. So that will spread people out.

That toy/calendar store feels out of place in the mall IMO. I don't see a lot of people there so I don't know how long it'll last.

Sounds so true indeed. I'm just waiting for the M.Y. Dim Sum Restaurant to open so that I can observe foot traffic on the Dome Floor... I think placing Uniqlo on the top floor might work since it'll be close to Bloomingdales, but I don't know what other shops can be placed close to it.
