A New York City nonprofit representing hundreds of small supermarkets, bodegas and grocery store owners is suing Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city in an effort to stop his plan to open five government-owned grocery stores.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to open five government-run stores. New Yorkers are skeptical about the plan — but they do want more affordable food.

The Multicultural Business Coalition — which represents NYC grocers and bodegas — filed a lawsuit Monday over Mayor Mamdani's city-run supermarkets.
