The Jug Shop, a historic 60-year-old wine and spirits store in San Francisco, has been evicted from its location due to over $170,000 in unpaid rent. Despite having moved just half a block away in 2021, the store's business drastically declined following the relocation. The co-owner, Mike Priolo, confirmed the evictions, indicating that without sufficient funding from their GoFundMe campaign, continuing as a legacy business was impossible. The challenges represent broader issues facing local businesses in shifting urban landscapes.
We would have loved things to work out differently and be able to continue our tradition as a San Francisco Legacy Business, Priolo told the Chronicle.
The Jug Shop had been telling anyone who would listen that without the hundreds of thousands from a successful GoFundMe campaign, their situation was dire.
