A San Francisco supervisor wants to require grocery stores to provide six months of notice before closing a location
A San Francisco lawmaker introduced a proposal that would require grocery stores in the city to provide six months of notice before closing a store and to explore a replacement supermarket at the vacated location.
Dean Preston, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, introduced what he calls the Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
Preston's proposal would require grocery store owners to provide six months written notice to the Board of Supervisors as well as the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD). The store would also be required to post notices at all entries and exits as a means of informing customers and the general public.
...
The bill would also require that grocery stores "meet and work in good faith with neighborhood residents" and the OEWD to find a workable solution to keep groceries available at the location.
...
Under the legislation, any person affected by a grocery store's failure to comply with the requirements could initiate legal proceedings for damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or a writ of mandate to remedy the violation.

Replacement market? Maybe a black market for what was previously stolen from the store and others in the community.
Post notices to quickly loot before the close day, sure.
Sue the store as final insult.
NOWHERE in the legislation is anything suggested to stop the looting, arrest, jail, and convict the criminals that are causing the stores to leave.
So keep the stores open with empty shelves and 1 clerk behind bullet proof glass. Store hours are from 0130 to 0330 on alternate Tuesdays.

Too late. No refunds.
California is the most anti-business state that exists. And they have their voters to thank for it. They can all starve to death.

Make Orwell Fiction Again
Y’all know forcing anybody to do what they don’t want to do,
absent a crime conviction, is called slavery?
30 stores close NOW, before this COMMIE bill is passed.
This is actual more like something Ayn Rand would write.
Great plan!
Rather than pass laws to maintain a safe, orderly, and low-crime city, the politicians will pass anti-business laws to cope with the lawlessness that the same politicians created in the first place
Yes, I suspect there will be a lot of rushed, even overnight closures before the go-live date if this legislation is enacted.
Anyone with a store in the San Francisco progressive hellhole needs to move out as quickly as possible - - before this newest insanity becomes law.
Sounds like slavery, forced labor.
IF they’d do this to a store, one can only imagine what they’d do to us.
This sounds so restrictive, makes you think it might be better to have government-run grocery stores there?
Sounds like there is nothing in this proposed bill that will benefit the grocery store owners, and maybe not even the actual community. Just a way for the local government to pretend it is controlling the industry......IMHO.

EXCELLENT
communism is alive and well in the democrat party.
They create a criminal environment that no business can make a living from, then force a law on them that they have to do it for another six months, or else. How do they plan on getting new grocery stores to replace the ones they’ve driven out?
Interesting that you mention “government-run grocery stores”. I recall reading about just that several months ago. Not sure what city, maybe Detroit. Anyway, maybe that is their plan?
