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.

Franshises are privately
owned. There’s no way
the gov demand that one
stays open.
From “The Wizard of Oz”.....
“We get up at noon and start to work at one,
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we’re done,
jolly good fun.”
And more time for lawyers to loot the system.
If this passes, every grocery store in San Francisco should close before the law goes into effect. If the law is written to take effect immediately they should close the day before the vote takes place.
Of course, the next thing that will happen is new stores will be opened with funds from Mexican cartels and with full approval of the same San Franciscan twerps who passed the new law. These new State/Cartel stores won’t have the shrinkage problem of the old stores because people who steal from them will be found floating the bay.
this is an intended death throw
Grocery stores should sue the cities to provide 24/7 armed security with authorization to shoot to kill any looters.
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.

Very clever.......great work around.
So if you are bankrupt you can't close stores? Does this idiot know anything about business? I guess not...
Thanks. I put some thought into it.

Doesn’t this open up the possibility of stores suing the city for losses during the time they’re forced to stay open?
Six months notice? Ok, give notice, board up the place due to previous vandalism, “loose” the key, pay employees for six months. Wait till six months plus one day. Bye SF! We did not close, we just didn’t open………
All those fresh vegetables and healthy choices that are being stolen......
Job applications, work boots and Bibles too
Only in the USA can someone be sued for closing their business due to the high rate of theft. Unbelievable.
Are there any other kind?
They would like to force store owners to remain open and to give away products free.
What this really is about is total ownership of all the means of production by the government, or communism. Profit would not exist. The government would set prices and salaries.
And everyone would starve, except the ruling elite which would live happily like royal pigs off everyone else’s work.
They just can’t make it too obvious. A little at a time. Call it by another name. Enlist the media to hide the truth.
