Safeway announced on Tuesday in a letter to San Francisco Mayor London Breed that it would close a location in the city after suffering from theft. The letter explained that Safeway decided to shutter its location in Fillmore, a neighborhood in San Francisco, "due to ongoing concerns about associate and customer safety, as well as persistent issues with theft," with current employees to be assigned to other store locations, per the San Francisco Chronicle.
"It’s obvious the community has been struggling, but to just up and leave without calling a meeting, with no alternative for groceries, is upsetting," Edgerly told the San Francisco Chronicle. "There was no community outreach at all." "It’s going to make a big impact. I was hoping they would at least come to the table and say, ‘This is the issue, let’s work it out,’" he said.
