This week, we dive into The City’s mom-and-pops in Mid-Market, which have experienced an economic atmospheric river that includes the shift to remote work and an open-air drug market.
Welcome to The Storefront, a column dedicated to exploring small businesses around San Francisco. Your guide on this journey is native San Franciscan Tigran Demurjian.Inside an ornate, wood-paneled cannabis lounge, co-owner Nate Haas declined to have his picture taken, citing security reasons. It’s a telltale sign in a neighborhood where empty stores and crime-fueled danger dominate.

It’s the first thing people see. It could be a showcase for S.F. small businesses,” Martinez said thinking back to that time.
Martinez points to one of the graphic T-shirts they make in the store. “It’s part of our tagline: ‘Create a better world'.”Jakub Przybyszewski’s been working and living in the Mid-Market area for over 10 years, six of which he’s spent as co-owner of one of the neighborhood’s few bars. “We’re one of the last few to stick around. If we or another business shut down, it will become a true ghost town.
