Holiday Retail Security in San Francisco: A Store Owner’s Guide

The November–December peak brings San Francisco retailers their biggest revenue weeks — and their highest theft exposure. Organized retail theft, crowded floors, and long hours all spike together. Armada Security staffs holiday retail security across Union Square, downtown corridors, and neighborhood shopping districts.

What Peak-Season Coverage Includes

• Loss-prevention officers on the floor during peak hours.
• Entrance and queue management for promotions and busy weekends.
• Overnight patrol of storefronts and stockrooms.
