NoPa Loses Its Only Full-Size Grocery Store as Lucky on Fulton Closes for Good

The Lucky supermarket at 1750 Fulton Street shut its doors on September 11, displacing 48 employees and leaving NoPa without a large-format grocer.

The Lucky supermarket at 1750 Fulton Street in the North of the Panhandle closed permanently on September 11, 2026, ending what had been one of NoPa's last remaining large-format grocery options. Parent company Save Mart Supermarkets cited sustained financial underperformance as the reason, telling employees and city regulators in a state WARN notice first filed in March that the store had lost money year over year despite a prior remodel.

150 Hayes Conversion Moves Forward: Renderings Show Glass-and-Bronze Facade and 104 Apartments

Design renderings released in August give the first detailed look at the planned office-to-apartment conversion at 150 Hayes Street, with the permit application listing a possible construction start as early as summer 2027.

Design renderings for the planned office-to-housing conversion of 150 Hayes Street were made public in August 2026, offering the first detailed look at how architects Solomon Cordwell Buenz envision the rebuilt structure. The proposal by Emerald Fund and SDG calls for gutting the existing 1968-era interior, stripping the dated green facade, and replacing it with a glass-and-bronze exterior. A new seventh floor would push the building's height from 74 to 100 feet, bringing total floor area to roughly 158,250 square feet — including 128,300 square feet of housing.
