This is relevant to r/neoliberal because the government frankly has no business inserting itself into an already competitive market with low margins.
The best-case scenario is for the public store to be outcompeted and quickly shuttered.
The worse-case scenario is for it to outcompete Aldo/Costco with state subsidies, and we end up with a horribly inefficient operation being propped up by taxpayers.

The gov store doent have rent or property taxes. I bet if other grocery stores got those benefits they would also be much cheaper
