#1,630 - Fisherman's Warf Safeway Grocery store in San Francisco closes over rampant shoplifting

SAN Francisco has been forced to say goodbye to a popular supermarket after claims of shoplifting and increased competition drove the location to shut down.

The community of North Beach is losing its only full-scale grocery store with late-night hours as the local Safeway prepares to close its doors.

The store couldn't compete with the nearby Trader Joe's, leaving North Beach with limited options to purchase groceries.

Store manager Christopher Benitez told The San Francisco Standard: “The company evaluates the store, and if it doesn’t make sense to keep one open, they don’t.”

Benitez added the decision came from corporate and was based on financial reasons.

The North Beach Safeway employs 65 people, all of whom will have to be transferred once the store officially closes on May 27.
