Concerned about the safety of their employees, Whole Foods officials have confirmed to KPIX the company was at least temporarily closing their store at 8th and Market streets in San Francisco.
Monday was the last day at the store for the time being. The 64,000-square foot store nestled in the city's mid-Market neighborhood open just a year ago to much fanfare.
The closure came as a shock to local residents like Jennifer Wu, who lives across the street from the store. Wu said that she never felt unsafe shopping, but has witnessed disturbances that were quickly handled by the store's staff.
