SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – San Francisco supervisor Rafael Mandelman said another major San Francisco retailer has made the decision to close earlier due to excessive theft, especially at night.

The Castro Safeway on Market and Church Street was open 24 hours, but that is no longer the case. Signs at the entrance indicate that the new opening times will be from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. from October 24th.

Many shoppers were surprised to find that the Safeway they use outside of business hours is declining.

“I feel like it’s definitely an inconvenience, not everyone makes it to the grocery store between these hours so it’s a little frustrating, especially for me personally. I like to go shopping later, ”says Chris Rankins, who lives in the Castro.

Mandelman’s precinct includes the Market Street Safeway. He said the company reached out to him to discuss issues with the theft.

“I think, like many retailers, they are seeing increasing property crime and theft from their stores,” Mandelman said. “I think the last 6 months have been kind of off the charts after what they say, as far as the bad development goes. It’s sad, angry and frustrating. “

Mandelman said he is now working to organize a meeting with Safeway, the San Francisco police and the district attorney.

“It’s an equity problem,” he said. “There are many low-income people, seniors, people with disabilities who rely on these Safeway and other Safeways across town.”

Johnny Denham, who works at night, has to change his routine for now.

“It is better for me to come here after work, shop, and go home,” he said. “Now it’s like I either have to go shopping before work or on my days off, which I don’t really enjoy doing.”

Safeway did not immediately respond to KPIX 5’s request for a comment.

Mandelman added that Safeway told him that the police rarely arrest someone for a property crime if they make it to the scene.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Target has cut its store hours in San Francisco due to rampant and increasingly brazen incidents of shoplifting in certain locations across the city.

A Target spokesperson sent the following statement to KPIX 5, confirming that the decision to adjust the opening hours of stores in San Francisco was related to theft.

“For more than a month now, we’ve seen a significant and alarming increase in theft and security incidents in our San Francisco stores, similar to other retailers in the area. Target is engaging local law enforcement, elected officials, and community partners to address our concerns. With the safety of our guests, team members and communities a top priority, we have temporarily reduced our opening hours in six stores in San Francisco. “

Target stores in San Francisco have switched to a 9am to 6pm schedule, while most of the other Target stores are open between 7 or 8am and 10pm

“I wasn’t surprised because we saw other retailers in San Francisco close. I take pride in the fact that they are trying to hold on and keep business open, ”said Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retailers Association.

Michelin told KPIX that San Francisco is the fifth worst city in the country for retail theft, with Los Angeles taking first place. She says the shoplifters don’t work alone. Often it is young people and people without shelter who are tapped by organized crime to do the dirty work.

“There comes a point – with what we’ve shared with the city’s elected leaders – where these kinds of decisions need to be made,” said Michelin. “The bottom line is when these people don’t feel safe coming to work. Then they have to take these drastic measures. “

KPIX asked the Mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, to consider Target’s move.

“I think part of that is a combination of our collaboration and the right security and staff to ensure that the customer experience is improved. Cutting hours is not a solution, ”said Breed.

The mayor also said enforcement needs to be addressed.

“The question is, will this person be held accountable for what they did? And that has to be part of the equation too, ”she explained.

Stores like CVS and Walgreens have been major San Francisco destinations for the past several months, as have smaller retail stores. Companies say the thefts, many of which are linked to major criminal fencing operations, are escalating at a rate they have never seen before.

The problem was highlighted recently in a viral video in which a man rummaged through the shelves of a Walgreens store in San Francisco and quietly rode a bike out the door while a security guard and customers watched.

According to multiple reports, Target, Walgreens, and CVS locations in the San Francisco area have changed their hours to close earlier or to close stores altogether after a series of thefts.

At least six Target stores in the Bay Area have adjusted their hours to close at 6 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. According to a statement by a Target spokesman to KNTV, “we have been experiencing a significant and alarming increase for more than a month”. in the event of theft and security incidents in our branches in San Francisco. “

“Since the safety of our guests, team members and communities is our top priority, we have temporarily reduced our operating hours,” the statement continues.

It’s not just Target stores, Walgreens has decided to close locations due to the increase in thefts and security incidents, KGO said.

A security guard told the guard that there wasn’t much he could do to stop a shoplifter who was determined and had a knife or a gun.

“I have no intention of being stabbed to death for anything worth $ 60,” the guard told KGO.

Leaders believe the crimes are organized and have asked police and prosecutors to come up with solutions to help companies stay open and customers stay safe.

“These are people who are being recruited, organized, and resold, and San Francisco suffers,” said Ahsha Safai, San Francisco supervisor.

Residents and leaders are concerned that the increase in thefts will result in more stores closing for good and moving to other locations outside of town.

“Dad refused to wear the mask – we don’t exactly know why, but he didn’t want to continue.

He continued to receive care and died peacefully in his sleep a few hours later.
