"SF Fillmore Safeway Ends 40-Year Run, Makes Way for Housing"

The Safeway store in San Francisco's Fillmore District is closing after 40 years to make way for a mixed-use development project. The closure has raised concerns among residents about the potential for a food desert in the historically Black neighborhood. Supervisor Dean Preston emphasized the need for community involvement in the development process to ensure continued access to a grocery store. The store's history includes recent measures to combat theft, and all employees will be reassigned to other locations in the Bay Area.
