Popular Vietnamese supermarket Dai Thanh, which sold off a downtown San Jose property in 2021 for a pretty penny, has now opened the second of two new locations, this one on North Capitol Avenue in the Berryessa district. 

Vacation owner Kristin Klein opened a sister shop, Work, with her friend and business partner Sam Poole. You’ll find Work just four doors down from Vacation at 1445 Grant Avenue.

A new concept boutique and social club called Mikroblack (pronounced 'micro-black'), featuring only black clothing and accessories, has opened at 2323 Market Street, formerly D&H Jewelers.

Sam’s Downtown Feed & Pet Supply, at 759 West San Carlos Street, first opened in 1986, but the legacy of the family who runs the pet and farm supply store is more than 150 years old, and it once housed a basement speakeasy.

After nearly 12 years, Castro neighborhood fine jeweler D&H Jewelers (2323 Market St.) has departed and moved to a new location in the Mission.

The OfficeMax that wouldn’t die has finally succumbed to online retail and pandemic business loss, with the SoMa office supply store’s signage now ripped down and tagging quickly sprayed all over the building.

Women’s knitwear designer Kenlynn Wilson doesn’t shy away from color. While you’ll find neutral and muted-hued pieces in her new North Beach pop-up (1522 Grant Avenue), her vibrant jewel-toned creations steal the show.

It appears to be becoming a new retail real estate trend: Large shuttered drug stores in San Francisco that offer loads of space are being reenvisioned into smaller chunks of space for retail or offices.

Another pop-up is moving into Union Square: Smartphone maker Samsung is about to open up a temporary shopping experience inside the former Uniqlo store at 111 Powell Street.

Last month, the San Francisco Small Business Commission added Castro mailbox and shipping store P.O. Plus (584 Castro St.) to the city's Legacy Business Registry, which recognizes "longstanding, community-serving businesses" that have established themselves in area neighborhoods for at least three decades.
