New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday announced another location for one of the city\u2019s planned government-run grocery stores, this one set to open in the Bronx next year.<\/p>\n
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday announced another location for one of the city\u2019s five planned government-run grocery stores.<\/p>\n
The store will be located in the Bronx at what Mamdani called The Peninsula, a planned mixed-use campus that will also offer affordable housing and a health and wellness center in the Hunts Point neighborhood. It is scheduled to open some time in 2027.<\/p>\n
“This store will be the first of the five city-run grocery stores to open,” Mamdani told reporters during a press conference. “Bronx residents will be able to begin shopping here next year.”<\/p>\n
“It is going to be a 20,000 square-foot location, and its ambition is perfectly placed at The Peninsula, which will house 740 units of 100% affordable housing by the time that it’s fully built,” the mayor continued.<\/p>\n

Mamdani previously announced an East Harlem location for the city’s flagship 9,000 square-foot Manhattan location, but that store will be built from the ground up and is slated to open in 2029.<\/p>\n
The East Harlem site is estimated to cost $30 million, according to the New York Times. It was unclear how much the location at The Peninsula would cost.<\/p>\n

The total budget allocated for the development of the five city-run grocery stores is $70 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mamdani has touted the city-run grocery store plan as a “grand experiment” that would reduce the cost of everyday items like bread and eggs.<\/p>\n
He has previously promised to open one such store in each borough, saying the city will subsidize basic grocery items while a private operator runs the stores under city rules requiring lower prices.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has said the city-run stores would be part of a broader “ecosystem” and would not replace existing grocers, including bodegas and neighborhood supermarkets, amid questions about their impact on\u00a0small businesses.<\/p>\n
