Shopping in San Francisco

There are many local, quaint shops scattered throughout San Francisco worth checking out. In an effort to slow the expansion of big box stores in America, San Francisco has promoted the development of small, local businesses in the city. Head down to Fisherman’s Wharf and you will find souvenirs, small shopping centers, and the busiest tourist spots. Although there aren’t many chain stores located in San Francisco, Union Square does have many well-known national retailers, shopping centers, and a couple classy boutiques. Plus there’s an In-N-Out Burger down by the water–how can you resist?
