Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first city-owned grocery store will be in East Harlem and cost about $30 million, a report said Sunday.
The store will be in La Marqueta, a marketplace under the train tracks running over Park Avenue, and be up and running for business by the end of his first term in 2029, according to the New York Times.
La Marqueta is already owned by the city.
Mamdani was expected to announce the Manhattan market plan at the party he was throwing at a Queens concert hall Sunday to celebrate his first 100 days in office, a milestone that passed Friday.
The store would be the first of five city-owned groceries the mayor made bold promises to build during his campaign.
Mamdani’s proposal for the East Harlem store would eat up nearly half of the $70 million he proposed for the five-store program as recently as February.
His plan was to put one market in each of the five boroughs.
He thinks the move will lower food costs for poorer New Yorkers.

Zohran Mamdani pats himself on the back with 100 days bash, speech as critics call it ‘massive insecurity’
Drive out the real stores ,LOL
“...be up and running for business by the end of his first term in 2029”
So, never then.

Be interesting to find out how expensive this turns out to be for NYC.
Gotta fill in all the paperwork, satisfy regulations
What’s the rush????
I’m convinced everything Muslim Brotherhood Mamdani does is specifically for the purpose of creating chaos.
Give me $30 million and I’ll have 30 Supermarkets in a year. This clown needs that and 3 years to maybe open 1 “grocery”? Like a bodega?
Huh??? Who writes this crapola?

It doesn’t take three years to open a legitimate grocery store. Probably doesn’t cost $30 million, either.
A lot of pockets are going to get lined.
Good thing it's not a high speed rail line.

Aren’t you the cynic! Personally, I think it will be running as soon as the CA fast choo-choo is running.
At least Madman isn’t spending $140 BILLION on a grocery store.
‘29?
That ManDamni is totally swift...
> be up and running for business by the end of his first term in 2029 <
Not until 2029? And here I thought Mamdani was going to quickly give NYC shoplifters some options. Steal from private stores or steal from city-owned stores.
This is so unfair to New York’s shoplifting class.
The grocery wholesalers don’t give their stuff away for free. They have to pay the same price as the private stores and bodegas.
[[At least Madman isn’t spending $140 BILLION on a grocery store.]]
Yet-
and i was just about to enroll in some shoplifting classes in some swanky ny college-
