## Resource

New York City is rolling out five city-run grocery stores set to slash prices by 30%—with the first opening in 2027—aiming to ease the grocery squeeze for families and seniors. Prices will be locked in to avoid surprise bills, and the stores will accept SNAP, offer fair wages, and prioritize accessibility. But local bodegas fear being squeezed out by the subsidized competition. City officials say experienced grocers will manage the stores, covering rent and taxes, and point to Essex Street Market as proof local businesses can thrive alongside them. This bold move is part of the mayor’s broader push to make NYC more affordable, especially as SNAP changes hit thousands.
