Mamdani Announces City-Owned Grocery Store

At a rally on Sunday marking his first 100 days as the mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani announced that it would open a city-owned grocery store in East Harlem.

During our campaign, we promised New Yorkers that we would create a network of five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough. Today, we make good on that promise. Stores where prices are fair, where workers are treated with dignity, and where New Yorkers can actually afford to shop. At our stores, eggs will be cheaper, bread will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation. One of those stores will be at La Marqueta in El Barrio.
