Mamdani Says City-Run Grocery Stores Won’t Impact Bodegas: ‘We’re Not Going To Be Selling Lottery Tickets’

MAMDANI: “What Jeanny has said is something that I will also restate which is that oftentimes the items that drive most profit for these kinds of entities are also not the items that these city-run grocery stores are going to be selling. We're not going to be selling lottery tickets, we're not going to be selling a lot of the things that make the margin whether it's tobacco products or or things of that nature. And so we're excited to continue to have that conversation and we take any concern seriously and I what I will also say is that our commitment to New Yorkers is to deliver them affordable groceries and we are very excited about doing that.”
