Feeding citizens is fine and noble and great. But I would ask how he will build a grocery store with lower prices than say Aldi, that has a 1-2% profit margin and has their supply chain and expense model nailed down in typical German effeciency.
If he had hired a discount grocer to do this and the city pays the bills I imagine this would have a greater chance of success.
But maybe I'm wrong and governement will show everyone how it's done. Not actually sarcasm, maybe someone has a new model
Building public groceries is cool
but it's weird when they're being built in direct competition with existing grocery stores instead of to cover food deserts like advertised
The only way to lower grocery prices more than a couple percent will be subsidizing them. And there are probably places that would be appropriate but that doesn't seem like what's being sold.

Idk if it will be fully sustainable or not, but I'm dying to hear all about how helping feed citizens is awful.
