A massive Whole Foods "flagship store" that opened in March 2022 in San Francisco has temporarily shut down, with the grocer saying the move was necessary to "ensure the safety" of its workers. Whole Foods did not elaborate on the closure of the 65,000-square-foot store, but SFGate got details from District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey; he represents the mid-Market neighborhood where the store sits and said there were two main drivers: retail theft and in-store disturbances from individuals with mental illness or drug issues.
