A group of New York City businesses, organized as the Multicultural Business Coalition, has filed a lawsuit against Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration over a plan to open city-run grocery stores. The plaintiffs argue that the initiative would create unfair competition for local grocers and bodegas. They are seeking a halt to the rollout until further land use review and analysis are conducted. The city plans to open five stores by 2029 with a $70 million investment.
