The Market, a luxury grocery store located on the ground floor of the former Twitter headquarters at 1355 Market St. in San Francisco, is set to close this Friday. Owner Chris Foley cites a dramatic drop in daily sales—from $60,000 in 2019 to $2,200—and increasing issues related to homelessness and drug addiction in the area as primary reasons for the closure. Foley expressed frustration with city leadership, stating, “Mayor Breed allowed meth addicts and homeless to take over the streets.” This closure adds to a growing list of businesses in the Mid-Market area that have shut down due to challenging street conditions and reduced foot traffic. Notably, the adjacent food hall will continue operations. (SF Standard)
