SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Another business in the iconic SF Ferry Building is set to close, KRON4.com has learned. Le Marais Bakery's Grande Creperie announced it had received the "sudden and unexpected" news that its lease at the building would not be renewed.
"In January, we were given a commitment for a new lease," the restaurant posted. "In April, we were told the 'team in LA' feels we are no longer part of the 'cultural mix.' We've always felt the opposite, as the only French-owned business, where our daughter has been raised riding along in her father's chef cart at the farmers market."

The Grand Creperie opened at the Ferry Building in 2022, serving "traditional Breton-style sweet crêpes and salé galettes made with farine de sarrasin, organic buckwheat flour," according to the bakery's website.
"We built our Grande Creperie after the pandemic when many locations were vacant or closed, investing our savings, renovating to bring it up to code," read a statement from the bakery's owners, who said they were told they'd be a "longstanding tenant" and that they'd always reached target earnings.

The unexpected termination of the bakery's lease comes on the heels of two other Ferry Building businesses abruptly closing. In December, Reem's a popular Arab street food restaurant, announced it would also be closing after finding out its lease would not be renewed. That same month, it was announced that Red Bay Coffee Company's Ferry Building location would also close -- although the company now operates a coffee truck on the building's east side.
Another Ferry Building eatery, Daily Driver bagel shop, also closed in December.
