Safeway to reassign 112 workers as troubled San Francisco store closes

Safeway is closing its troubled Webster Street supermarket in San Francisco’s Fillmore District, following months of operational struggles due to safety concerns and theft. The company plans to reassign 112 workers and place them at another nearby location. The closure of the store, a neighborhood staple for over 40 years, has been criticized by community leaders for its lack of community outreach and for potential potential redevelopment of the site for affordable housing and a replacement grocery store.
