SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Walgreens will shut 12 shops in San Francisco subsequent month.

Final 12 months, Walgreens introduced it could be closing 1,200 nationwide over the following three years. Based on a report in NPR, the pharmacy location closures have been a part of a plan for a monetary turnaround because the retail chain faces competitors and decrease prescription payouts.

“It’s never an easy decision to close a store,” mentioned the corporate in an announcement. “We know that our stores are important to the communities that we serve, and therefore do everything possible to improve store performance. When closures are necessary, like those here in San Francisco, we will work in partnership with community stakeholders to minimize customer disruptions.”

Supervisor Shamann Walton, who represents District 10 the place two of the Walgreens are closing, responded to the closures, saying partly, “It is with great concern and disappointment that we acknowledge the sudden impending closure of the remaining two Walgreens locations in District 10 at 5300 3rd Street and 1189 Potrero Avenue, bringing the total number of store closures in San Francisco to 12. These stores have long been a vital resource for our community, providing essential medications, household goods, and personal care items to residents, including many seniors and families with limited means.”

Supervisor Walton mentioned his workplace met with representatives from Walgreens and have been knowledgeable that the closures have been remaining, “with no room for negotiation to secure an extension.”

Initially, Walton’s workplace mentioned that Walgreens had assured them that affected staff will likely be reassigned to different places. Nevertheless, a spokesperson for the supervisor later clarified that Walgreens mentioned, “it will strive to retain most employees, though the collective bargaining agreement requires reassignment to unionized locations.”
