CVS Pharmacy has decided to close two stores in the heavily
trafficked Mid-Market and Polk Gulch neighborhoods.

Chronicle reporter J.K. Dineen noticed a bare-bones sign on the
storefront at 995 Market St. Thursday. "STORE CLOSED. THANKS!"
reads the 8.5 x 11 sheet of printer paper. The store's phone
number also appeared to be disconnected.

The CVS was located on the ground floor of a building on the
corner of Sixth and Market streets. Above the CVS is a WeWork co-
working space.

According to Hoodline, the location opened in September 2015.

The second shuttered location was at 1285 Sutter St., on the
corner of Van Ness and Sutter.

"CVS Pharmacy has made the difficult business decision to close
our stores at 995 Market St and 1285 Sutter St in San Francisco
on April 2," the company said in a statement to SFGATE. "We will
continue to serve local customers at our nearby CVS Pharmacy
locations, and will work with employees affected by the store
closing to place them in other available positions in our
company."

CVS declined to detail why it decided to close the stores, but
Yelp reviews of the Market Street location complained of empty
store shelves, too many items locked up behind protective glass,
and theft problems. Reviews of the Sutter Street store tended to
be more positive.

If for some reason you're really bummed about this news and are
worried about getting your CVS fix, fear not. There's another
location nearby at 7th and Market.
