A New York City business group representing hundreds of small supermarkets and bodegas has sued Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city, challenging his plan to open five municipally 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.
