Yet Another Walgreens Is Closing In Downtown San Francisco: Reports

SAN FRANCISCO — Yet another Walgreens location is closing in downtown San Francisco, according to reports.

Signage at the 275 Sacramento St. store states it will shutter Feb. 27, The San Francisco Standard reported, adding customers are being directed to the location at 300 Montgomery St. A worker told the publication that the store on Sacramento Street had low foot traffic.

“When faced with the difficult decision to close a location, several factors are taken into account, including our existing footprint of stores, dynamics of the local market, and changes in the buying habits of our patients and customers, among other reasons,” a company spokesperson told SFGate in a statement.

Three other Walgreens stores in the area have closed in recent years, the Standard reported, noting that, in addition, a location at 825 Market St. where Banko Brown was shot and killed closed and later reopened.
