Just a quick set this weekend, since I'm planning on taking the next 3 weekends off for various reasons. (I will still be around on most weekdays, so the Sears closing set will carry on.)
This store opened in 2022 as a much hyped new store in a food desert in a relatively disadvantaged corner of San Francisco, and was an experimental small-format store for Lucky. It was formerly a Walgreens, to give you an idea of the size; since it's in a larger shopping center, it's hard to tell the exact size, but probably around 10,000 square feet. (That puts it in the same size range as some nearby independent grocery stores, and there's a much larger Foods Co (Kroger) a mile away, which makes me question how much of a food desert this area really is... but we'll put that aside.) Clearly, the experiment didn't pay off, since in 2025 (not long after Jim Pattison bought out Save Mart/Lucky), this store shut down. So I guess I'm glad I visited it when I did, even if it didn't turn out to be massively interesting (hence the very short set).
