Grocery Outlet Opens in SF's Food Desert | California News

A brand-new Grocery Outlet just opened in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf area, filling a three-year void left by the shuttered Safeway and bringing much-needed relief to 20,000 locals. Mayor Daniel Lurie joined the ribbon-cutting, calling it a lifeline for families struggling without easy access to groceries. Residents like Shepherd Sanders and Alex—caring for elderly loved ones—say the store cuts down on stress and travel time. Owned by Jacqueline and Joel Lanoie, this local-owned store celebrates its parent company’s 80th anniversary while offering affordable options right next to Trader Joe’s. The community benefit district underscores that this isn’t just about tourists—it’s about real people living and working here, finally getting the convenience they’ve long needed.
