That makes sense. Two questions though:

1. If the store is unprofitable where would the money come from?
2. If the store is profitable, would the money be reinvested in the store or taken for other projects/services by the city?

I would say one of the main benefits would probably be the better access in less profitable areas that the other commenter mentioned.

Can somebody sum up the benefits of a city run grocery store? I’m not trying to be combative it’s just an unfamiliar concept for me and I am curious.
