Just in time for the holiday season, Gump's Department Store is set to be returning to the San Francisco area, but only as a pop-up operation that may be extended beyond the four months the new owners plan to keep it open, if they determine that holiday sales are good enough to keep it going for a longer time.
The Chachas family purchased the original Gump's store and its trademark for $650,000 in 2018, and because of its long history of being in the Bay Area, its Executive Vice President, Annie Chachas, said that her family was ecstatic to be bringing it back to San Francisco so that its previous customers could still be able to shop for the same types of items that have always been offered at the luxury brand dealer.
