REUTERS\/David Dee Delgado<\/p>\n<p>(New York, NY) \u2013 Mayor Zohran Mamdani says New York City will open five city-run grocery stores, one in each borough, as part of a plan aimed at lowering food costs.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani says the stores would offer a core basket of groceries priced 30 percent below typical retail levels. The first location is expected to open in 2027, with all five planned by the end of 2029.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters say the plan could give families relief from high grocery prices and bring public competition into neighborhoods with limited affordable options.<\/p>\n<p>Critics are pressing for details on funding, staffing, suppliers and whether the promised savings can last without heavy subsidies. Those questions will shape how the proposal moves from campaign-style pledge to city operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks during a seder gathering at Union Square, in Manhattan, New York&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":308070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-308069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
