Daly City, called the "Gateway to the Peninsula", is situated on the northern edge of San Mateo County. The city limits stretch from the San Fransisco bay (to the east) all the way to the Pacific Ocean (on the west). It is conveniently situated in the middle of two of the biggest job growth zones in California, the San Mateo and San Fransisco counties. Though the economy within the area is really diverse, the major sectors are within small business, retail and healthcare.

The retail sector makes up most of the economy of Daly City. Within its limits, there are three major shopping places, the largest of those is the Serramonte Center, having a total of 860,000 square feet of retail space. The Mission Street retail corridor, that borders San Francisco, and the Westlake shopping centre (that provides 620,000 square feet of retail space) are the other two main regional shopping places. The city has over 3.1 million square feet of retail space, and out of all the cities in the county Daly City has the biggest taxable retail sales.
