Whole Foods Closes San Francisco Store
Whole Foods temporarily closed its store at Trinity Place in San Francisco’s Market Street neighborhood in early April, just about a year after its opening, to protect employees from the area’s growing crime, homelessness, and open drug use. Whole Foods opened the store in March 2022 in the midst of deteriorating local street conditions and leftist leadership that has allowed crime to go unchecked.
According to the San Francisco Standard on April 10 of this year, a Whole Foods spokesperson said, “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.”
In a March 2023 report titled “Tracking the San Francisco Bay Area’s Pandemic Recovery,” the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, a San Francisco think tank, said Covid policies had reduced foot traffic in the Market Street neighborhood.
