The nearly 65,000-square foot location at Trinity Place in the city’s Mid-Market neighborhood shut its doors Monday to “ensure the safety” of its employees, a Whole Foods spokesperson said. Although Whole Foods did not share any additional information on the conditions that led to the store closing, the spokesperson added that it was a “difficult decision to close the Trinity store for the time being.” Affected employees will be transferred to nearby stores.
Property crimes in San Francisco have garnered national attention because of several attention-grabbing videos of thieves in action. Though still well below 2017 levels, the city saw a 23% increase in property crimes between 2020 and 2022, with spikes in burglary and theft headlining the surge, according to San Francisco Police Department data. Meanwhile, violent crime statistics in San Francisco have remained relatively steady in recent years.

Just the start, the unruly public have made it impossible to provide services the good honest people need.
Thank a democrat
You get what you vote for. But I doubt the progressive Left will see it that way. They will blame everything else but the real reason so many are leaving and some taking their companies with them.
Get what you voted for
Far-left practices like harm reduction working 'really well' for everyone - except for business owners, local residents, and tourists - as businesses are forced to close due to safety concerns. Well done, woke patrol - you did it! Now to label WholeFoods a racist company . . .
CNN and its liberal bullshit eating away entire America
This is a black eye on the SF city government.
liberalpolitics
I♥️Whole Foods for acting responsiblly
What an indictment of San Francisco.
Progressives will run your home into the ground.
This store is closing because SF office space is still 60% unoccupied, period. That story's a bore and doesn't fit the crime-is-rampant narrative. San Francisco has one of the lowest crime rates in the country, almost as low as NYC.
What are the most expensive cities to live in and it’s turned into Fort Apache the Bronx
This is delicious
farzyness Get out of Democrat run areas!
Oh well.
Everyone knew opening one on that street wasn’t going to work out
Every store in democrat run cities CLOSE IMMEDIATELY
Democrats ruin cities
Cnn, why don’t you put this news on tv? That’s because you don’t like to talk about all the crimes on the left, just like NYC San Francisco is full of criminals everywhere.
A city that is self destructing under Democratic leadership. Portland and Seattle right behind you.
The public bathroom was basically an IV drug den. The employees were beaten daily and the 'locals' shop lifted at will. Wonder why it closed? Hmmm, something about go Woke, go Broke.
Liberal policies just keep destroying everything. Keep it up
LOL. SF is killing itself. I'm a 5th Gen SFer, and NO ONE from my family has lived in SF for YEARS. The rampant homelessness fueled by drug addiction & free money, Calif's lax laws on theft and incarceration, sanctuary city law protecting drug dealers, & tech Cos fleeing.
Why does the 'ensure the safety' have to go in quotations cnn .....
It was marketed longer than it remained open… ‘twas a bold investment to begin with. Very unfortunate.

Good

We know it was lack of customers actually. That place was always empty.
The video on my feed goes to story about Walgreens, not Whole Foods.
Thanks, Democrats! 👍🏽😀👍🏽
GavinNewsom why aren’t you talking about this but so busy talking about Republican leaders. Your state is going down and we hear zero from you?
didn't Nancy Pelosi cut the ribbon at the grand opening? Hey, here's an idea! Make CA like OR and legalize small amounts of dangerous drugs to out these street vendors out of business. Are you in? Cocktail wiener? DEMOCRATS
I just read about how according to statistics San Fran has low crime and we should generally consider it a safe city.
Two competing narratives, the city and media say it’s safe and the businesses & residents are saying otherwise. I don’t know why residents and businesses would lie like that.
Nah its called we gonna gtfo of this shithole call San Francisco thanks to Governor trash
They will be alright amazon will just move the location
Sh thole city
This is what we will get if GavinNewsom runs for President & morons vote for him! A dystopian land full of homelessness, crime & losers seeking handouts! All while the hardworking tax payers get taxed and priced out of just about everything all in the name of a great green deal!
Corporate news stop being a stenographer for corporate propaganda challenge
You know San Francisco has become a total shit hole when I’ve sat here multiple times the last week considering whether to go to a Giants game this summer or an A’s game this summer and which one makes me feel safer. 🤦🏼♂️
Leftism kills everything it touches, including fresh food.
Another go woke go broke situation. America is on the decline. I fear that when Fascism comes to America it will be disguised as Liberalism Ronald Reagan.
It opened 1 year ago and was always empty. This is a bs political statement not a business statement. The store was hemorrhaging money and a flop because it’s insanely overpriced and there are better stores on the same block.
What's the proper take for leftists on this? Do you castigate WF for closing? Or excoriate it for even existing in the first place? Or complain that they didn't give away their food? I would like to know, seriously.
Socialist Scumbags never learn
That San Francisco crime rate is crazy
This is what happens when the populous is allowed to walk out of a store with an unpaid cart full with no repercussions.
🤣 but you just told us a few days ago how safe San Francisco was? Man, shit went south quick in SF.
LondonBreed resign
Democrats will probably MAKE them stay.
Good. Food distribution should be left in the capable hands of the government.
Nancy pelosi district
Hmmm. Nothing wrong in San Francisco
Every business should move out of commiefornia
Failed government costs jobs
Shocker-blue run states are not safe. Hmmmm wonder why?
It's been 20 yrs since I have been to SF, we left early and traveled north. It was a hell hole then. I can't imagine what it is like today.

You get what you vote for. Congratulations libs 🤣
Democrats voted for this..

One of the mysteries of the ages is why the political left has, for centuries, lavished so much attention on the well-being of criminals and paid so little attention to their victims.— Thomas Sowell
