Lucky, a major national grocery-store chain with one of the few grocery stores in Bayview, will close its doors there after just three years in the neighborhood.
Now, just two major grocery stores, Foods Co. and Grocery Outlet, are left in Bayview.
The loss of Lucky “is another major blow to the Bayview community, which has long faced challenges of being a food desert,” said District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton.
Lucky opened at Bayview Plaza on Third Street in October 2022, replacing a Walgreens that closed in 2019 after more than 30 years at the spot.
The southeastern neighborhood, which is disproportionately low-income, has struggled with food access for decades, and many residents live with food insecurity.
