"The San Francisco city attorney's office filed a lawsuit Wednesday against "Corner Store" at 401 Eddy St. at Leavenworth Street, seeking to shut the store down for one year. In November 2025, an investigation involving the San Francisco Police Department led to the seizure of over 48 grams of methamphetamine, and 4.68 pounds of marijuana from the store. Investigators also seized a "ghost gun" - a gun without a serial number - and "dozens of illegal tobacco products.""
"Though the lawsuit does not describe a specific incident of the sale of illegal drugs, it says "the sale of methamphetamine, marijuana, illegal tobacco, and drug paraphernalia" happened at the store, and the city attorney's press release today echoed that the store "sold controlled substances and enabled criminal activity in the neighborhood.""
"One allegation in the lawsuit targets the "drug paraphernalia" sold in the store, like glass pipes and "small plastic baggies." Selling those items "in an area accessible to minors," according to the lawsuit, is illegal. The suit also describes an earlier investigation, conducted in April 2024 by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. There, an undercover "investigator purchased a POD Mesh Chilled Blue Razz vape styled flavored tobacco product," the sale of which is illegal in San Francisco."
"The store's owners had "no permit to sell tobacco at all," according to a spokesperson for the city attorney's office. "Not only were they selling tobacco, but they were selling flavored tobacco," which is not"
