Did you know if you tried to open a Trader Joe's, Grocery Outlet, or soon even a Mollie Stone's in San Francisco - you can't? That's because SF has a rule that formula retail chain stores that have more than 11 stores (worldwide!) can not open in commercial districts without a conditional use permit. With grocery stores and pharmacies closing across our city, these permits can delay opening new stores by 6-9 months - delaying much needed affordable food in our neighborhoods. So today I announced legislation to fix it. Going forward, any parcel already designated as a formula retail chain can convert to a grocery store or pharmacy without an additional conditional use permit. This will save them months on opening. For any new grocery store that opens, we will also allow them to include a bank, pharmacy, or restaurant without the need for another conditional use permit. As grocery stores consolidate and get smaller, this will help them occupy larger spaces while also bring more needed services to neighborhoods in need. And lastly, we will add grocery stores and pharmacies to the city's priority processing list. Importantly, this legislation isn't going to change the character of your neighborhood. It only regulates parcels that are already designated for formula retail chains. Because amidst an affordability crisis restricting access to food and medicine, we need to make it easier to open needed services. Not bury them in red tape. Thank you Supervisors Sherrill and Melgar for your early cosponsorship of our legislation. We will introduce it at the Board of Supervisors in the weeks ahead, and expect it to pass before the end of the year.

Friedberg Predicts NYC’s Socialist Grocery Stores Will Be Wildly Popular and a DSA Marketing Tool for 2028 david friedberg: “I think that people have it wrong. I think these grocery stores are going to be wildly popular. I think that everyone's being a little bit too long-sighted in their view on what's going to happen with these grocery stores, with the basic obvious economic arithmetic that someone has to pay for this, and who's going to pay for it, and blah, blah, blah. I don't think it really matters because over the near term, what the cheap grocery stores do is create an incredible success story for socialism that will help to support and fuel the socialist wave in urban centers around this country. Think about the social network effect of the grocery store. So there's a couple of them, and then people start traveling from far away to the cheap grocery store because it has this discount. Again, this'll play out over the next 24 months, going into the 2028 election cycle, and everyone's like, ‘This is so wildly popular. People are coming in from all over the place to go to these grocery stores.’ They're not checking IDs, because IDs are racist, and you can't check IDs to vote, so we shouldn't be able to check IDs for grocery stores. So people will come in from all over the place to use these grocery stores. The demand will go up. And then they'll start to open more and more grocery stores like this. And let's say each one loses $10 million/year and they get to 10 or 20 of these. That's $200 million of losses/year on the grocery store chain. But it creates this extraordinary social movement for more of these grocery stores supporting the DSA and so on. $200 million/year on a $125 billion/year budget for the city of New York is nothing. It's less than a quarter of a percent of the city's budget. That is so cheap to market the DSA platform, and to get the DSA platform to become a social marketing element that drives the next wave here. So again, I do think that these grocery stores, believe it or not, they sound silly, they sound small, but I predict that they will be deemed a point of success, and they will end up being a big part of the fuel for the DSA going into 2028.”

NYC Mayor Mamdani announced on Sunday that his administration will build a city-run grocery store on city-owned land in East Harlem. He says he “looks forward to the competition” of battling against corporations. But what he’s failing to say is that small grocery stores, which need to make a profit to survive, will be the ones that suffer when faced with a city-run grocery store that isn’t necessarily funded by what it sells. It’s a lose/lose. Other U.S. cities (and other countries) have tried to make city-run grocery stores work. They’ve all failed, so many don’t even try anymore. Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago bailed on his plan to open city-run grocery stores after public criticism and feasibility concerns. Some of the consistent problems with these kinds of grocery stores are long lines, shortages, lack of variety, outdated products, corruption, bad customer service, and inefficiency. New York City also doesn’t really have a demand for these grocery stores. There are over 1,000 grocery stores already in NYC, most within walking distance. The bigger stores have sophisticated systems and are able to negotiate lower prices by buying in volume. City-run stores can’t do this since there are always so few of them if any. So these stores end up operating at a loss and failing. It’s always the same result. Mamdani is naive and will fail. He already has with almost everything he’s tried to do. Instead of coming up with new positive solutions or implementing old successful strategies, he’s going with old failed ideas. Socialism has never worked. It never will. (nbcnewyork on TT)
