The 7-Eleven located at the corner of Noe and 18th streets has permanently closed as of March 4, reports Hoodline, and residents are keen on seeing a new business take its place.
Over the years, the Castro District convenience store was the subject of frequent contention among customers and employees alike, who complained of frequent shoplifting, loitering, and lack of cleanliness, as well as fear for their safety.
It’s been a tough year for many small businesses across the neighborhood that have also been blighted by theft as well as widespread vandalism. According to a survey issued by the Castro District Merchants Association in February, local storefronts reported 72 incidents of vandalized and broken windows since January 2020, costing over $135,472.74.
The Walgreens at 18th and Castro – just two blocks away from the now-shuttered 7-Eleven – reported 11 broken windows in total.

Blue America.
That’s already too much information.
We need more liberalism before people learn.
“The Fascism will continue until morale improves.”
“Blue America.”
That pretty much sums it up.
Soon America as a whole will close due to theft, vandalism and uncleanliness, thanks to our commie leaders and gutless RINO’s.
Oh, no! Where they gonna be able to steal Swisher Sweets?
“Residents are keen on seeing a new business”
Yeah. Maybe that will help. :-)
Probly a vape shop.

But, they are contributing to the economy by employing the glass-makers and glaziers in their neighborhood.

In my area in NJ as the real economy disappears it would be vape shop, tattoo parlor, or combination of both...
“.... Castro District convenience store...”
Agree, what did they expect after naming a district after bloodthirsty Fascist.
I eventually see block house construction with high small thick windows and blast doors for entrances in those neighbor hoods if any business is dumb enough to open there.
Federally subsidized, to boot.
I’m always amazed when I go into a siete once at how many illegals are shopping there. They waste a lot of money overpaying for inferior convenience.
Ferguson, Missouri?
The only way to get around this is to do drive through or walk up using an app to view inventory. Pay in advance, receive contents at the window. Never permit the customer to enter the store.
Some people see a closed 7-Eleven. I see a new hookah lounge.
Legalized shop lifting will escalate to whole sale looting. No business can survive a high loss rate. SF is going to be a retail desert soon.

We have gone full circle if that happens. In the original grocery stores the stock was all in the back and you told the clerk what you wanted, paid for it, and it was brought out.
