Organic food giant Whole Foods opened a new 'flagship' location at Trinity Place in the city's Tenderloin district in March 2022, hoping to revitalize footfall after two years of draconian COVID restrictions severely impacted businesses in the area.
But a Whole Foods spokesperson declared the store closed down last night due to safety concerns for its staff.
Recently Safeway announced they are closing their store at Fisherman Wharf.
ReplyDeleteAs if anyone in management and planning could not have seen that likely outcome before they even broke ground. I can see it from here and I have never been within 2000 miles of San Franfreakshow. Same with the marketing bint at AB who "manages" the BudLite brand. Says she had to "save" the market leading beer within its class. Doing nothing at all would have likely ensured it maintained the lead market position indefinitely. Being a college educated smart type, she had better ideas. A 30% to 50% market drop in a week is quite an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteShe and her superiors still being employed is quite an accomplishment.
DeleteThose freaks will just call it a failure of capitalism.
ReplyDeleteProtest marches claiming Whole Foods is racist in 3...2...
ReplyDeleteMany years ago one of the big box stores closed one of their local stores due to high theft rates. The official wording was "low performance". It was in one of the poorer parts of town and picket lines claiming it was due to racists were formed the next day. This went on for about a week until they showed up one day to protest and the signs were up for a Mexican Bazaar. Instead of whining and protesting, a Mexican businessman went in, leased the building, and started a new business. That was about 20 years ago and the bazaar is still in business and is flourishing.
Uh, that's raysis!

If you can find a time machine to hop into and go back 30 years, SF was such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThat was before Newsom.
And Moonbeam. Who was the complete opposite of his old man, who ramrodded the California State Water Project. Imagine that.
DeleteBut Moombeam's guiding principle was the same as Gavie's:

I have an aunt who once worked for Pat Brown. I asked her if she'd met Moonbeam. All she would say was "I've had words with Moonbeam." She would not elaborate.
DeleteThe fact that she actually referred to him as Moonbeam tells you everything you need to know about her opinion of the lying POS clown.
DeleteLiberal Wholefoods. They got what they wanted and now they can wallow in it. The blues states have conducted a great experiment of exactly what does not even come close to working.
ReplyDelete@Country Boy- that is an example of pure capitalism at work. Also an example of how much crap certain cultures will tolerate before FAFO.
ReplyDeleteHope the ‘new guy’ made a mint.
Next will come the arguments why whyte pee po should have to pay more to subsidize meal delivery in inner cities because they are food deserts... as if any of them buy groceries and cook meals!
ReplyDeleteThey opened and closed a Whole food in a run down neighborhood in Chicago. Locals were robbing them blind.
ReplyDeleteOne imagines the bazaar dealt with shoplifting in a decidedly different fashion.
