Downtown San Francisco has needed a power-up since the pandemic, and that could be on the way with the opening of an official Nintendo Store slated for May 15.
The video game maker announced plans to launch a second outpost in the U.S. last year and since then, Bay Area fans have been eagerly anticipating it. The new store will be at 331 Powell St. in a storefront facing Union Square.
