Mamdani Plans to Open 5 'Free' Supermarkets in NYC Which Advocates Shoplifting and Theft Incidents Not Be Policed (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In this 19 August 2026 published video, host Cash Jordan talks about how leaders in New York City are advocating for shoplifting and theft to stop being policed which spells disaster for the grocery stores. The city itself plans on opening up.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s initiative involves opening five city-backed, subsidized grocery stores (one in each borough) offering a core set of staples at a predictable 30 percent discount, rather than establishing ‘free’ supermarkets or implementing a policy that advocates shoplifting and theft. The administration’s official program guidelines and requests for proposals do not advocate leaving retail theft unpoliced; rather, critics and commentators have raised concerns that the discounted or publicly funded model could be vulnerable to the city’s broader retail crime and loss issues.

A $70 million capital program to establish five city-owned, publicly subsidized grocery locations (one per borough) to combat rising food costs.  Essential items—including fresh produce, meat, seafood, and key pantry staples—will be sold at a locked-in discount compared to traditional retail prices. The first location is slated for the Bronx (Hunts Point) by late 2027, with all five borough locations anticipated by 2029.

The city’s project parameters and operational guidelines focus on lowering food insecurity and managing purchasing (including discussions around residency verification to prevent bulk reselling) rather than modifying criminal enforcement of theft. Opponents, local business coalitions, and industry analysts have argued that the plan could face severe economic hurdles, including potential inventory loss from New York’s existing retail theft challenges, but claims that the administration advocates ignoring or legalizing shoplifting are politically motivated characterizations by critics rather than official policy.
