Courtney's Produce will close permanently on Friday, December 5, 2025, ending 54 years of operation. Founded in 1969, the corner market served the Duboce Triangle and Castro neighborhoods with fresh produce, handmade juices, fresh-cut flowers, and famously affordable peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The closure follows the recent passing of co-founder Lola Courtney. A window sign announced the closing and expressed gratitude to customers, while some employees told reporters that the store is not reopening despite language about potential new ownership. The shop's final day ends at 6 pm on December 5, marking the end of a longtime community fixture.
