Mamdani: Staple items will be 30% cheaper at city-run grocery stores, no gimmicks [03ybk9QDgin]
🥑 🥛 Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that city-run grocery stores would provide a 30% discount on produce, meat and a host of other kitchen staples as a way to offset the rising food prices in one of America's most expensive cities. “Thirty percent off adds up to real money for New Yorkers,” Mamdani said at a news conference at a warehouse in Brooklyn while standing in front of a display of fruits and vegetables. The five stores are expected to be placed in each of the city's five boroughs, with the first set to open toward the end of 2027 in the Bronx. He plans to have all five operational by the end of his four-year term. 📸 Office of the NYC Mayor, Spencer Platt/Getty Images, AP Photo/Ryan Murphy 🔊 Tune into 1010 WINS AT 92.3 FM for more local news #nyc #newyorkcity #nycnews #brooklyn #mamdani #nycgrocerystores #groceries #cityrunstores
