The Market, a luxury grocery store located in the former Twitter building, is set to close, with its owner, Chris Foley, citing significant financial strain. Opened in 2014, the store initially thrived but faced declining sales after the pandemic led to remote work and increased urban issues, such as drug addiction and homelessness. Foley criticized city management for not adequately addressing these challenges, leading to a stark drop in daily revenues and discomfort among patrons. With sales plummeting from $60,000 to $2,200, the operator decided to close as losses were unsustainable.
"There was a time when we were thriving, but over the years, operational costs skyrocketed and business was further hampered by pandemic effects and urban challenges."
"Mayor Breed allowed meth addicts and homeless to take over the streets, and it didn't seem that her administration really cared, and I'm sorry to say that."
