Multicultural Business Coalition sues New York City mayor, alleging plan for city-run stores will harm smaller grocers
A New York City business group sued mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday over his plan to create five municipally owned grocery stores.
The Multicultural Business Coalition, which says it represents hundreds of small supermarkets, filed two lawsuits in New York county supreme court on Monday, arguing that the plan violates the civil rights of smaller, immigrant- and minority-owned businesses. The group argues that smaller stores would be unable to match the discounts offered by the city grocery stores and “therefore, will be put out of business,” according to the lawsuits.
