‘Organized’ Shoplifting To Blame For Walgreens Store Closures
Walgreens announced it will close five San Francisco stores due to ‘organized’ retail crime amid a surge in brazen theft incidents at Northern California drug stores. CNN’s Dan Simon reports.
Gov. Bob Ferguson has enacted House Bill 2294, a legislative measure designed to safeguard access to essential services by prohibiting property restrictions that hinder the establishment of new grocery stores or pharmacies in neighborhoods following a closure. This law aims to ensure communities maintain access to food and medicine, addressing the challenges posed by store closures.
