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.
