Mission: Comics and Art in San Francisco is inviting the community to a meeting on December 13 to help decide the future of the store. Mission Local spoke to owner Leef Smith, who said that sales are down 12% from 2022. He blames the loss of foot traffic as more people are working from home, the rise of online shopping, safety concerns, and a massive winter storm for the drop in sales. “The customers that used to come in every week are often coming in every two weeks. People are not browsing, and a lot of customers have moved away from the city entirely,” he said. Leah Morrett, who opened nearby Sour Cherry Comics in 2022, said she had a tough year as well. “Vibes are totally off, and people are having a bad year in general,” she said.
