With only 1,600 residents \u2014 and a median income of $44,271 \u2014 the community no longer generated enough business to be worth the local IGA\u2019s while.

And not without reason. A deeply conservative small-town trying its hand at socialism was a fun story. And it turned out that Baldwin wasn\u2019t an aberration: Other <a href=\"https:\/\/thehustle.co\/the-small-town-that-saved-its-only-grocery-store-by-buying-it\">aging<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ruralgrocery.org\/learn\/publications\/case-studies\/Leon_Success_Story.pdf\">rural communities<\/a> in red America had turned to government grocers once private supermarkets had left them in the lurch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Progressive policy thinkers <a href=\"https:\/\/theweek.com\/articles\/880941\/public-option-grocery-stores\">took inspiration<\/a> from these examples. In the ensuing years, proposals for using public grocery stores to combat <a href=\"https:\/\/blockclubchicago.org\/2023\/09\/14\/city-owned-grocery-store-could-be-coming-to-chicagos-food-deserts\/\">urban food deserts<\/a> \u2014 impoverished neighborhoods without convenient and affordable supermarkets \u2014 began to circulate. The merits of such plans can be debated. But their logic was straightforward: Where the market fails to provide residents with healthy food options, the government should step in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">When post-COVID inflation sowed outrage over food prices, however, some on the left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openmarketsinstitute.org\/publications\/brief-creating-fair-food-markets-for-affordable-groceries\">reconceived the purpose of public supermarkets<\/a>: In their telling, such stores weren\u2019t merely a means of eliminating food deserts, but also a way to make groceries more affordable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Mamdani\u2019s plan is principally animated by the latter goal. With more than <a href=\"https:\/\/edc.nyc\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/NYC-Groceries-Vision-Plan_07-27-2026.pdf\">1,100 grocery stores and 10,000 bodegas,<\/a> most of New York City is well-provisioned by private food vendors. And although parts of the municipality are under-served, the mayor is not actually concentrating his stores in such areas; his planned East Harlem location <a href=\"https:\/\/ny1.com\/nyc\/manhattan\/news\/2026\/04\/13\/zohran-mamdani-city-owned-grocery-store-east-harlem\">lies just blocks<\/a> from an Aldi, Costco, and many other grocers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/edc.nyc\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/NYC-Groceries-Vision-Plan_07-27-2026.pdf\">report<\/a> detailing its policy, the mayor\u2019s office makes clear that its primary aim is to drive down New Yorkers\u2019 food bills. Yet there\u2019s little reason to think that public grocery stores are a cost-effective way to do that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p><h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><strong>New York City probably won\u2019t provide groceries more efficiently than Costco<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Without question, a government store can make groceries more affordable <em>for its own customers<\/em>: All it has to do is charge below-market prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">And yet, if that store manages this feat by operating at a loss, then its shoppers\u2019 savings will come at the broader city\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">That might not be too troubling, if one pictures rich taxpayers footing the bill. But for a city like New York \u2014 which faces a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/2026\/07\/28\/mayor-mamdani-orders-all-nyc-agencies-to-find-spending-cuts-of-2-5-amid-looming-budget-deficit\/\">structural budget deficit<\/a> \u2014 revenue is a scarce resource. A tax dollar spent on public grocery stores is one that can\u2019t be spent on nutritional assistance for low-income people. And all else equal, the latter will do more to enhance affordability: If you have a limited pool of food subsidies \u2014 and want to minimize the number of New Yorkers who can\u2019t afford groceries \u2014 then you should spend your funds on the poor, not on whoever happens to show up at your city-owned store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Thus, for Mamdani\u2019s supermarkets to be cost-effective, they can\u2019t just subsidize low prices with taxpayer money. Rather, they need to deliver groceries more efficiently than private retailers do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Public ownership can unlock efficiencies in certain contexts. For example, America\u2019s private health insurance system generates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplespolicyproject.org\/2020\/12\/11\/cbo-medicare-for-all-reduces-health-spending\/\">massive administrative redundancies<\/a>. By one estimate, if the US replaced its sprawling insurance industry with a single government payer, it could cut our health system\u2019s annual administrative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplespolicyproject.org\/2024\/12\/10\/health-care-administration-wastes-half-a-trillion-dollars-every-year\/\">costs by $500 billion<\/a>. In other words, a Medicare For All program could theoretically provide more healthcare-per-dollar than the current system does, by eliminating excess bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">But there are no comparable inefficiencies in the grocery sector. True, a government retailer could generate some savings by declining to take a profit. But margins in the industry are slim; the average profit rate among food retailers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmi.org\/our-research\/food-industry-facts?\">was just 2.1 percent in 2025<\/a>. Therefore, Mamdani\u2019s stores can\u2019t finance 30 percent discounts merely by dispensing with shareholder returns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Meanwhile, the city actually wants its stores to be <em>less<\/em> cost-efficient than private grocers in some respects. According to its <a href=\"https:\/\/edc.nyc\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/NYC-Groceries-Vision-Plan_07-27-2026.pdf\">policy brief,<\/a> the government grocers will pay their workers higher wages than most retailers and may also favor \u201clocal and regional suppliers,\u201d rather than automatically contracting with whichever food producers offer the best rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">The city suggests that its stores will have <em>some<\/em> cost advantages: Unlike private competitors, they will pay no rent or property taxes on their facilities. But these are merely additional subsidies, not actual efficiencies: By providing free real estate to its grocers, the city is forgoing revenue that it could otherwise collect and spend on nutritional assistance or other public goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">It is not yet clear how much money the city is prepared to lose each year on these stores. If Mamdani\u2019s celebrity \u2014 and heavily advertised bargains \u2014 lure large masses of people to his markets, their steeply discounted goods will quickly sell out. In that circumstance, to avoid long stretches with empty shelves, or some complex rationing system, the city would need to rapidly restock money-losing items, compounding the stores\u2019 operating losses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">In theory, there is one way that government stores could benefit consumers throughout a city <em>without<\/em> being especially efficient enterprises in themselves: They could force <em>other <\/em>retailers to cut prices by accepting lower profits or discovering new efficiencies. But with grocery margins already thin, squeezing private markets further could lead to closures, thereby reducing shoppers\u2019 options. Further, Mamdani himself insists that his stores will go out of their way to avoid harming private competitors (which, in New York, consist primarily of the sorts of small businesses that Mamdani has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jul\/25\/zohran-mamdani-small-business-policies\">promised to help<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">In any case, five stores won\u2019t substantially impact pricing citywide. And so long as each government grocer operates at a loss, scaling up the program will only deepen its costs \u2014 and thus, the tradeoff between funding public supermarkets and anti-hunger programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">At present, Mamdani\u2019s grocery store experiment looks fairly cheap. The city <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/mayors-office\/news\/2026\/07\/mayor-mamdani-unveils-30--discount---including-all-produce--all-\">estimates<\/a> the stores will require $70 million in capital costs. As already noted, it\u2019s unclear precisely how large each store\u2019s annual operating budget will be. But even if each supermarket loses many millions each year, it still won\u2019t make <em>that<\/em> big a difference, in the context of the city\u2019s $125 billion budget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Still, the opportunity costs of Mamdani\u2019s policy are real. New York City currently plans to spend <a href=\"https:\/\/citylimits.org\/opinion-mayor-mamdani-drop-the-city-run-grocery-store\/\">$3.1 million<\/a> next year on a program called Get The Good Stuff (GTGS), which essentially gives SNAP recipients up to $10 off each time they purchase fruits and vegetables from 25 participating grocery stores. With the money slated for its public supermarkets, New York could dramatically expand the program, while also investing more money into its food banks. Alternatively, the city could modestly increase cash transfers to its lowest-income residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">To be sure, none of that would offer much benefit to middle-class shoppers. And the mayor is quite reasonably concerned with increasing grocery affordability for the typical New Yorker. But the city can advance that aim \u2014 while actually <em>increasing<\/em> its revenue \u2014 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitalcitynyc.org\/nyc-grocery-cost-explained\/\">easing zoning and permitting rules<\/a> that currently make it difficult for large, low-cost retailers like Costco and Walmart to operate in many parts of the city. Happily, to Mamdani\u2019s great credit, his administration\u2019s paper on public grocery stores does briefly mention the need for permitting reforms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p><h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><strong>Maybe public grocery stores are an end in themselves<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">All this said, there may still be a reasonable case for Mamdani\u2019s stores or others like them. For example, a city\u2019s residents might come to see such retailers as a kind of attraction, public amenity, or community space, akin to a park or library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Further, public grocers could theoretically increase the public\u2019s faith in the government. While the grocers are unlikely to be efficient in reality, they may <em>appear <\/em>to be. After all, their low prices will be far more visible to consumers than their operating costs. If Americans come to associate the public sector with cheap, ostensibly well-run supermarkets \u2014 rather than dreary DMV lines \u2014 that could aid the left\u2019s broader efforts to expand the government\u2019s remit. (Although, if the public grocers end up being characterized by overcrowding and empty shelves, the policy could further erode Americans\u2019 confidence in the public sector.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">As a means of maximizing affordability, however, Mamdani\u2019s program makes little sense. It will mostly just transfer income from the city\u2019s broad population to the small subset of New Yorkers who happen to live near \u2014 or work at \u2014 one of its five stores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _10sa9omi itxwjq1 itxwjq0 pn04iq1\">Where private markets fail to provide any grocery options, public stores may be the best way for municipalities to meet their residents\u2019 nutritional needs. But in other contexts, governments can make a bigger difference by simply putting more money in poor people\u2019s pockets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Yorkers will soon enjoy a 30 percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk, and bread \u2014 so long as they shop at a city-owned store.
