A Whole Foods Market, one of the largest supermarkets in downtown San Francisco closed at the end of business Monday, just over a year after the store opened, according to a new report
Company officials told The Standard in a statement, “We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being. If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.”
A source at City Hall said that the outlet’s “flagship location” cited drug use and crime near the 64,737 square feet location as reasons for the closure.
Last year, the grocery store at Eighth and Market Street previously cut its operating hours due to hostile visitors and “high theft" and then enforced new bathroom policies after syringes and other drug paraphernalia were regularly left in store restrooms, according to one of the store's managers.
San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey, whose district includes the market, said in a Twitter thread that he was “incredibly disappointed” by the store’s closure and announced that he will introduce legislation with Supervisor Catherine Stefani to amend the City Charter and get the Police Department fully staffed within five years.
The department is currently short over 600 officers of its staffing goal
Decreased foot traffic following government-mandated shutdowns in response to the pandemic has led to many businesses closing and homelessness, drug use, and mental illness on the streets becoming more visible.
The negative financial impacts of the closures have led to an expected $800 million deficit in the city’s budget.
Now, San Franciscans will no longer be able to Steal healthy food.
Meanwhile San Fransisco’s former mayor and current California governor is bopping around red states bashing Republicans instead of taking care of his own cesspool.
Since stealing shopping carts and shoplifting up to $950 worth of goods are legal, more police will change nothing.
Liberals are incapable of learning from either books or advice or experience. They are beyond stupid.
San Francisco has a projected 800 million dollar budget deficit?
And yet San Francisco is planning to pay reparations for slavery.?
What the heck?
Congratulations! YOU are NUMBER SIX!

... yet the Search Function still works.
Lucky Seven!
Wish me luck.
Good news: maybe this will make it matter to reasonable people that vote in these districts.
Bad news: criminals will find it necessary to travel farther and contaminate previously nicer neighborhoods.
I searched on the title. If the titles aren’t identical I can’t help it.
Trannies and people of color hardest hit.
I thought the flagship store was the first one?
This was the first store built by Bezos, Amazons flagship store!! What an absolute MORON building it in SF, I assumed Bezos was a hell of a lot smarter than this LOL, LOL!!!!
They’ve got a warehouse in Knoxville that was shuttered before it opened.
