Earlier this week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that his plan for city-run grocery stores includes a 30% discount on common items including meat, produce and dairy.
The mayor says the stores will not sell items like cigarettes and alcohol in order not to compete with local businesses and bodegas. Mamdani had pledged there would be one city-run store in each borough by the end of his term.
Kenny Minaya, the commissioner of the city's Department of Small Business Services, talks about the city-owned grocery stores on "Inside City Hall."

NEW YORK — Today, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) announced that a core basket of everyday groceries will be 30 percent cheaper at the five new municipal grocery stores. The basket will include all fresh produce, meat and seafood, along with roughly 20 additional categories of pantry staples, dairy and refrigerated goods. The discount will apply to all regardless of income, with prices locked in and predictable rather than fluctuating week to week as is the case at private grocers. Combined, the savings are projected to cut New Yorkers’ average grocery bill by 15 percent, about $90 a month, or roughly $1,000 a year.
