The Safeway at 1335 Webster Street is set to permanently close on Feb. 7, 2025, the corporation announced in a notice to Mayor London Breed on Dec. 10, according to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle.
The decision was made “due to ongoing concerns about associate and customer safety, as well as persistent issues with theft,” the company told the Chronicle.
Safeway initially announced in early January this year the closure of the store it has operated for 40 years. The company later agreed to extend its services until early 2025, rather than in March 2024 as was originally planned, after the city negotiated with Safeway and the property’s new owner, Align Real Estate.
The initial closure decision was made following a spree of closures of grocery stores and pharmacies, including Walgreens and Whole Foods, in locations that were suffering from rampant theft and other crimes.
Rev. Amos Brown of the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco mentioned in a statement the shoplifting and security issues the store is facing, “just as retailers are facing all over the city.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
