Grocer-turned-politician doubts Mamdani’s stores last
A plan by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to establish city-funded grocery stores has faced criticism from small business advocates who argue it will harm existing local businesses. Rep. Mike Rulli, from Ohio, claimed these stores would operate at a loss and drain taxpayers' money, warning they might not last more than a year and could eliminate hundreds of small, immigrant-owned businesses. The city aims to open five stores by 2030, offering core goods at 30% below retail prices, but critics question the plan's financial sustainability.
